I have always wondered how those people would cope with visiting a European city, especially one like Florence or Rome, with nude sculpture everywhere!<br />The lady who saw 5 nipples was at an exhibit; who knows, maybe there really were 5 nipples, but as Sherri said in her comment "Who goes around counting nipples?"Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-46805157586317023322011-09-18T17:13:53.178-04:002011-09-18T17:13:53.178-04:00Love the piece!!!!

I had never imagined that somebody would be bothered by this kind of things! Maybe it's because in Italy we are used to see naked bodies in ancient sculptures, fountains, paintings so we hardly notice them (sometimes even in churches! And "Madonna feeding a baby Jesus" was a very popular subject in paintings at some point of history...It's incredible that some people could find that offensive!)<br />Well, at least I'm glad you found your tapestry and it was still in good conditions!!Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872617216503412388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-31525006242979958702011-08-18T22:21:31.502-04:002011-08-18T22:21:31.502-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle, Michelle!

I was thinking about my med student daughter, who will be doing "Gross Anatomy" soon. <br /><br />I agree it would be a great theme for an online exhibit, not we just have to find a willing volunteer, hehehe.....Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-62051179712199131102011-08-18T20:32:15.120-04:002011-08-18T20:32:15.120-04:00What a great story Jan!

After that, nothing will be shocking.<br /><br />By the way, wouldn't that be a great theme for an ATA online exhibit... the human form?lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680727252540559507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-90056664234886626582011-08-18T19:57:45.966-04:002011-08-18T19:57:45.966-04:00I love the fact that I had to look carefully at th...I love the fact that I had to look carefully at the piece to find the body!!

When you represent one of these you are representing all of life, that's how I feel anyway.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829312867584191579.post-25235607580096011012011-08-17T23:06:56.234-04:002011-08-17T23:06:56.234-04:00I like this tapestry and enjoyed your true crime s...I like this tapestry and enjoyed your true crime story. Your comments about censorship remind me of a recent exhibit I went to. Another viewer stopped by the desk after viewing the exhibit, commenting that she'd seen five nipples. I had two thoughts--who goes around counting nipples and how would she react in the Cistine Chapel or many other sites in Europe.Sherri Woodard Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570198109361542888noreply@blogger.com
