I call these images Embryo Angels. They are made of polymer clay and are about one inch long. They are much larger than the actual embryos they represent.
Embryo Angels
represent an embryo between about 30 days to 45 days from conception. At 30 days the embryo
is 4 to 6 millimeters long -- less than a quarter inch. Currently, about 30% of abortions in the US take place before 6 weeks (43 days) and 60% take place before 8 weeks (56 days).
This is a magnified picture of an actual 30 day embryo:
and this is close to the actual size of the embryo:
And here are some of my clay angels:
