After a long time, I finally picked up my brush again, using my menstrual blood as my medium. This time, something feels profoundly different. For years, my blood carried pain, brain fog, and symptoms I thought were simply a part of who I am—my normal. It wasn’t until I started taking thyroid medication that I realized how much I had been silently suffering. My blood has slowly changed. It’s clearer now, free from the mucus that used to be so familiar.
Painting with my blood in the past was a way to sit with my pain, to face it. I’d wake up early, unable to sleep from the discomfort, and let the art flow through me as a form of release. What would come out of me was raw, painful, but healing in its own way. Today, this piece feels like a reflection of that transformation—of where I was and where I am now. There’s a clarity to it that mirrors what’s happening inside of me, a shift in how I relate to my own body and the cycles it endures.
For the first time in a long time, my creation isn’t just about enduring the pain, but about embracing the change, recognizing that this journey is ongoing and ever-evolving.

I recently realized a lot of my writings with my divine feminine visions are very seasonal. Many goddesses are seasonal, and even if not they have their own holy days marking seasons afterall. Makes me think of Kali in particular whose name comes from the Sanskrit root word “kal” which means time 🌞 काल 🌚 along with denotations of death, as integral to the nature of time.
It is unpopularly theorized that the word “calendar” itself has its etymological root in Kali reverence by the Romani people who were found throughout the ancient Roman empire. The word for calendar shares the root sound “kal” throughout over a dozen European languages until this day. According to formal acedemically recognized etymology “calendar” comes from Old French calendier, from Latin calendarium (account book), from kalendae (the first day of the month), from calo (to announce solemnly, to call out (the sighting of the new moon). 🌚 Those who know of the ancient tradition of monthly Romani rituals which called aloud to Kali every new moon (associated with Her blood flow) theorize along with these definitions that Kali is where we get “calendar” in a kind of ancient cultural appropriation.
All European language etymology studies tend to lead back to Latin even in instances professed to be only a vague theory, further obscuring from history countless native languages of the “barbarians” conquered by ancient Roman colonization. The history of how subsequent European cultures since Romanization have oppressed Romani peoples as “Gypsies” up to today is inherited from Roman culture. Why wouldn’t these systems actively repress the truth of any such influences? So with that in mind I think why not Kalinder?
PS! ”rom” is a Romani word for “man” and so the similarities of Roman and Romani are not etymologically linked as some have assumed, mistakenly believing that Romani means “from Rome” in the way that the derogatory term Gypsy meant “from Egypt”. The Romani have their roots in India.

Filuteria (Poland, 2011) project by Urszula Kluz Knopek
https://palianshow.wordpress.com/2018/06/28/filuteria-poland-2011-project-by-urszula-kluz-knopek/
“Filuteria” is an idea to oppose the stereotyping of femininity and the stereotyping of art. It is about digging into every nook and cranny of intimacy, looking for the evidence for individuality and originality as true values, contrary to the etiquette and social norms: telling us what we should or shouldn’t do is nonsense.
Filuteria is far from standardizing or homogenizing and therefore far from the content censoring but close to reaching the boundaries of self-exploration
Urszula Kluz Knopek

Works: Saint Ursula (photography, postcard, flyer with poem)
Menstrual calendar (Personalized menstrual calendar in on line and printed version)
Pants and earrings with pockets for tampons

as part of trying to have a better relationship with my body I'm trying to not think of the uterus as evil like this:
but rather as trying it's best while being a bit useless, like this:

A few turtley doods from my sketchbook.
Those last disaster twins were inspired by @tangledinink's Gemini Twins AU's because I think about them like, at least thrice a week. They live rentfree in my head. Running and giggling.

This is available on my Redbubble (MothraMade)! I think it's pretty good for my first time using an art program and not something specifically designed for making cross stitch patterns. If you do cross stitch and embroidery the pattern is on my Etsy (also MothraMade), otherwise here's the link if you'd like to get this design as a sticker or something!
