Placenta Printing

Placenta Printing is a magical and artistic way the capture the form and shape of the placenta is all it's mystery for a lifetime.  

Here are some placenta prints I've made for clients in the recent months.  It's important to use a high quality absorbant paper, similar to that which would be used for water colour painting.  Natural coloured paper gives the print an earthy feel and blends nicely with the rich colour of placental blood.  Dabbing the fetal side of the placenta with kitchen roll/paper towel will help you reach a finely tuned print showing the true structure and maze of vessles and the beautiful spiral of cord.     

If possible, do not rinse the placenta in water before making your print.  Water will cause your print to be less defined.

After rinsing with water - you can see the blood is lighter in colour and the print is not as nice.                        

*We do advise not to use the placenta for remedies after you've completed your print with paints.  You can however make a blood print using the blood contained on the placenta if you are planning to consume your placenta in capsule form.
