Ovum?

As a woman of that certain age (70) I hear many conversations of our body changed from a fertile to infertile. An idea came to my mind that maybe I am making ovum and not orbs. Being that I have never had an ovum fertilized hence no children I see each of these ova as my children. Each having a personality!

Hearing that young women are not wanting to have children (ovum) and (that’s ok), but to my dislike, to abort an actually fertilized ovum but I am not your judge or jury.

I rarely here the fact that our body will rid the ovum if it is not fertilized through a menstrual cycle. No unfertilized ovum stays in womens bodies. Every month this cycle happens during our fertile years. I never hear much about this. Also for the men, a woman will not get pregnant at all unless there is sperm introduced hence your role is the start of life!

As a women that never had an ova fertilized during my prime years, I was thinking deeper about my current art form of making felted orbs (ova).

I now see my orbs, as potential life forms, ova. Each of them are unique.
