Here are some carved pregnant bellies that I've recently made from willow. They are about 3 inches tall and are pyrographed with delicate henna designs. These are fertility and childbirth charms. Willow is thought to bring luck and ease in childbirth, and a woman would wear one or carry one with her if she wanted to get pregnant or was already pregnant. I sanded them with all the grades of sandpaper down to the finest I have to make them very touchable, then I rubbed with lemon oil and beeswax so they smell delicious.

 reports, 1d 15h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

Cheers,

Where the Dark Earth Sleeping Lies
I'm expecting my 4th baby this November (in theory, I don't think he's going to wait that long though) and I'd be extremely interested in one of the childbirth ones...perhaps a commission?
