Cherub-Room Ceiling

What is the "Cherub Room?"

The House on the Rock houses the world's largest carousel. This is not particularly remarkable. What is remarkable is that the carousel is completely indoors in the "cherub" room. The ceiling of the cherub room is covered with mannequins suspended from the ceiling. Not resting with just suspended mannequins, Alex attires the mannequins with full sized angel wings and togas. The togas are strategically placed to cover only half of each mannequin. A ceiling covered with dozens of suspended half-naked toga-clad angel mannequins. High concept.

House on the Rock, Dodgeville, Wisconsin, April 2012. Our tour of the attraction ends with a visit to the Cherub Room.

A Few More Words about Yarnbombing

Is the trend hotter in the United Kingdom?

Or are UK residents more accomplished and enthusiastic knitters? We've known that truth for years.

More Yarnbombing

The movement has a humorous side. It's a little unexpected.

It certainly can be entertaining.

"Yarnbombers" may even … tweak the London Olympics.

(Thanks to my Knitwit friend for sending that last link to me.)

Carnevale Cringe

It's day seven of Carnevale. Don't keep your thoughts to yourself.

Piazza San Marco, Venice, Italy, March 1984. A family makes a political statement.

Yarnbombing

Creepy or trendy?
