Is homebirth safe? "My name is Gloria Berg and I am a CNM in North Dakota ( 1 of 5 in the state) and a lot of times it is an uphill battle. My sister (Kathy Bannister) found your site and bought me some wonderful gifts for my birthday that warmed my heart. I had to contact you and tell you how much I love the purple Mother mobile which is now hanging in my office and is such a conversation starter with anxious first time visitors. Both bumper stickers are on my car!!! ...all in all, this birthday was "better" (who likes to get old???) because of the warmth of these gifts. Thanks!!" ~ Gloria Berg

Attachments is pleased to offer the following two gorgeous sculptures by Sigrid Herr. These sculptures are made from resin, a synthetic polymer. Compared to concrete, resin is superior, especially in terms of durability. In the manufacturing process, the cast resin pieces are coated with steel, in the form of an atomized powder. The sculptures then get dampened with a solution of salt and vinegar to begin oxidation. No toxic chemicals are involved. The result is a piece that will look equally well in your office, home or garden. If you decide to place your sculpture outside, the appearance of the surface will change over time under the influence of the weather. You can brush or wipe off the rust, but oxidation will continue with exposure to moisture. If preferred, the rusting process may be stopped by spraying the piece with a flat, or semi-gloss, clear varnish (the artist discourages using high-gloss varnish..) Your sculpture should do well in rain and temperatures above freezing; however, under harsh winter conditions, the expansion and contraction of ice in crevices may crack the piece. It is, therefore, recommended you bring the sculpture inside when freezing temperatures threaten. Pregnant Woman "She is ready to give birth, the hour is near.
