Auction is OPEN! • Spotlight on Saida Staudenmaier!

Wow, SparkleBlob’s Bidding Owl Site is up and working!

We’re adding new items every day, so today we’ll focus on one of the first pieces that came in, Saida’s Our Lady of Perpetual PMS! Bidding Owl only lets you see three photos, but these photos taken by Saida’s husband, Eric, really lets you see the details of this exquisite piece! The halo is made of tampons! The dress is made of pantyliners! The glittered shapes behind the saint are pills! Mixed media indeed!

Item Description
A santo in the tradition of the patron saints of yore. A tableau that depicts a patron saint for today’s folk culture, Our Lady Of Perpetual PMS.
Our Lady of Perpetual PMS will provide any gal with much needed solace and understanding, perhaps even just a sounding board, for all that ails her in that oh so arduous time of the month.
