Maybe I'm lacking art appreciation skills, but all I can think about is how bad these "paintings" must smell... GROSS!!

I don't even like to see/touch/smell that stuff when it's on its way from my body to the toilet/garbage can (via tampon or pad)... get it away from me as quickly as possible. I certainly don't want to see someone else's uterus lining exhibited on a canvas.

But hey, each to her own, I guess. (Damn hippie.)

The art work is beautiful... but seriously... blood is biohazard!

I've seen those before, but I figure it was paint. I'm going to keep on thinking that.

My inner feminist thinks the idea is pretty cool...although I don't really like the first and sixth, as it's more obvious that those ones are made from menstrual blood.

I'll say what everyone else is almost saying...

That is some fucked-up repugnant shit.

i wonder just how it gets collected for use .. how much actually is blood. .and how much is acrylic?

to me, the art is beautiful enough even if it was just paint.. what is the point of the blood?

I'm wondering how they collected it as well. Maybe they used one of those diva cup things.

I think it is art, but not something I would hang on my wall. But I think if a girl has blue and yellow discharge, it is time to schedule a doctor's appointment.

SecretMethod70

uh, the blue and yellow isn't blood...that's the acrylic

UUURRRR MYYYYY GAAAASH!!!

The paintings are most beautiful but the idea of using...I can't even say it.

I thought WOW, they are amazing but also, GROSS, how do they obtain it? how do they get women to comply with using their..."stuff" as paint?

i have this weird image in my head that's very gross but also very funny, but it's too terrible to say

GAAASH!

It's collected with The Keeper according to the note at the bottom of the linked livejournal.

Okay?? A lot different, but who am I to judge?

Supple Cow

Okay, I'm the one who goes around judging all the people in the Keeper/Divacup thread who say it's too gross to use, but I gagged a little bit when I saw that first painting. I mean, it's kind of neat to collect it in that cup and totally satisfying to know I'm doing something so good for me and the world and my wallet, but I mostly just look at it curiously before I dump it out. I always had this feeling that somebody more extreme than me would surface and start doing exactly this... and I'm a little bit sorry that I was right. But some of those are beautiful indeed.

I can't get past what abaya has already mentioned about the smell though... I really really really really really hope she used some kind of acryilic spray to seal the paintings, otherwise her art shows must smell like a high school girl's bathroom.

*shudders*

DaniGirl

Im sorry if this is considered art, but it is so gross. What gave that person the idea?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw
