I thought this was a joke, I'm sorry to me that really is disgusting and odd. :eek:
Yuck!!!:eek:
I have heard of cord blood being saved for medical purposes, but this, well, no thanks!
Hey, if they can make diamonds out of a loved one's cremains, WHY NOT????
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
And the creator of this wonderful :rolleyes: new form of art is none other than.................a doctor and his wife. :eek: - and one with very poor taste, it seems! :p
It IS kinda tacky but...TO EACH HIS OWN, I guess.
I don't know. I don't see the big deal. Maybe I read it wrong but it's just a picture of the cord under a microscope with dye added right? I mean it's not like they are just putting the actual cord pieces up on the wall. IF I were to do such a thing I probably wouldn't advertise what it was unless someone REALLY wanted to know... it would just be something special for me and a nice looking picture to everyone else.

I confess I liked the art until I saw what it was ... interesting concept ... creepy and interesting and disturbing ...
A bit much for me. I had no clue what it was, looked like someone trying to sell some kind of deco art or something. Until I read what it was--- turned my insides to mush,,yuck.
I have walked into some art museums and you know, you try to be all open, but then there are just some things that make you go "COME ON!?!? WHAT!?". I kid you not, I have walked into the MET in NYC only to pay and walk into a room filled with canvases with literally a pencil mark on it, LITERALLY A PENCIL MARK. WHY does that need to be in an art museum, like get real. I mean it seems if you are "artsy" enough, or have a big enough name you can almost get away with anything. One of the most disturbing things I've walked into is a room filled with paintings of little Amish girls hanging from nooses.:confused::eek: I walked in and my brother was walking out and he just goes "don't go in there...".
I try to be open to "Art" but sometimes I just can't.
This to me, is on the same creepy level as having your dead pet stuffed :eek:
I like it.... It's one way to have an extra memory of the unique connection a mother has to her child. Plus nothing and noone is hurt in the making of this type of art. Of course, I've always been a little weird.... :rolleyes:
Another thing I think is along the same lines, but I actually like it better...

I don't see anything wrong with this. Actually, I find it rather interesting, and something I would consider. I just think the cord art is rather gross and in poor taste, even tho I am very much a liberal thinker.Quote:

"Art" is always subjective, science is factual, but in between lies a lot of the world.

After watching the show "Oddities", which I love, nothing surprises me when it comes to art. One artist showed his paintings made w/his blood. I doubt that I'd buy it but as you said, it is what it is.
