Today, Maria’s is offering 50 durable Flying Vulva Stickers for sale for $8 each, including shipping.
They can be used as bumper stickers, or decals or stickers, inside or outside. Maria says if anyone has problems affording a decal they should e-mail her at [email protected] and she will try and work something out.
This is her art, but it is also a labor of love. She wants these decals to be out in the world.
They will be up on Etsy sometime this afternoon, that’s where people can purchase them outright. You can also read about them and get more information on Maria’s blog.
The vulva experience has been fascinating for me, and I have enjoyed. I’ve learned a lot.
It upsets some people, but mostly, women are very interested in the resurrection of the vulva as a symbol not only of art but of freedom and strength.
And life.
I find it so curious that the vulva, which brings all of us into the world in several different ways, and has such a rich history in art and religion, has become the object of so much fascination, revulsion, and confusion.
Yesterday, I spent hours researching the history of the vulva, both as a body part and as art and symbols of fertility, spirituality, and feminism. It has all kinds of meaning to all kinds of people and was not too long ago a sacred symbol and one of the world’s oldest works of art.
Vulvas have been found on the oldest known cave dwellings. They have an awful lot of mojo as art and tokens.
Anyway, if you want one, they will be up on Etsy shortly, by 2:30 p.m. Friday.
I am, as always, proud of Maria and her vision and energy and creativity. She is a warrior for her art. I respect and appreciate her vulva also, and am happy to support her.
