This time last year I was in hospital recovering from a Stem Cell Transplant due to my Multiple Myeloma so I thought it would be a good time to give you an update on any art I've created over the past few months and my health.
ART:
I've been doing an online course called Ever After which has a variety of teachers creating artworks related to Fairy Tales.
Here they are in a variety of stages of completion. I intended to create one piece at a time but got bored waiting for paint to dry so started on another..... They have been great fun to make and I've learned so much from the talented teachers.
HEALTH:
My Multiple Myeloma has been in remission for over a year though treatment has continued this year. I was taking Thalidomide but my Peripheral Nueropathy has advanced to a stage where it is better to stop the medication so the nerves can get better or I would reach the point of no return which would leave me with pins and needles or it feels like you're walking on glass - for the rest of my life. At the moment my toes are numb and my feet and legs have a slight numbness - but they can still feel the cold.
LIFE:
I August I went Germany and spent a week in Hamburg with a friend and then hopped on a train 2 hours south-west to visit family for a week.
I'm looking forward to creating more art in the Ever After online class as well as to the warmer weather and Spring arriving. Take care, love and hugs, Shells xxx
