Etz Chaim – The Tree of Life – Placenta Prints
Yes, I saved my placenta. No, I didn’t eat it or encapsulate it. Yes, I made art with it.
I gave birth to The Sprout 2 weeks ago, but painting with my placenta was not high on the priority list so I froze it. After a good thaw, I mixed some black and green acrylic paint with water and “bathed” the placenta.

I used a sea sponge to dab excess liquid off the placenta. I used 140# watercolor paper and would gently set the placenta on top of each piece.

I love that you painted with it. I am so intrigued with capsizing my placenta.. maybe next baby?
Oh, I so wish I’d thought of doing that. Great idea and something that can never be replicated.
