Good Morning! This morning was a creative morning... even though it's cool, dreary and grey! The monster ("she that shan't be named") and I, were inspired to create the first in series of PMR /GCA Face Masks!!
The series is titled "The Many Faces of PMR/GCA" and this first (dual) mask is titled "R&R Downunder." Can you guess who it's for????
Watch this space...
It already resembles me this morning. Is it one of our Aussie friends?
Hahahahahaha. Yes, I thought it looked like I felt... Soggy, upside down, yucky discombobulated, and out of shape!
Oh, and yes, but shhhhhhh, it's a secret. It's for Rimmy and Ruth. ; )
HUMPTY DUMPTY! I can see the likeness in myself!!!!
Hahahahahahahaha! Was it the soggy? Or upside down? Or yucky? Or out of shape you related to? Or like me, ALL OF THE ABOVE!
I'm not Humpty shape - definitely have a waist! Just sayin' ...
Good on you! I have a waist too... it's just as wide as my hips now!!!!
The worst thing is that jeans these days come in that shape! If they fit my bum they are about 2in too big on the waist...
I used to have that problem, pre-pred!!!!
Now, not so much.
Thank you, another silver lining!
😆
Good egg Humpty! Just fell off the wall that's all! That's my fantasy take!! It's not an easy wake up to this illness. Love your tough humour it will get you through.
You are right!!!!! It SUCKS waking up to these illnesses!!!!! If I don't dig deep, find and use my use humour and sarcasm, I'll be huddled in the corner crying... not a good look for me!
I woke with the song "I want to break free" inside my head - due to the shock of looking in mirror with glasses on - and finding Freddie Mercury moustache looking back..... As I am on holiday, my creative time today was spent duly pruning. I now resemble your head. Can't wait to see finished product.
GREAT song! And thank you for that image!!!!
You should have posted a photo of YOUR finished product!!!!
Go mamici! Art will save us.
Hehehehehehehehe.
It will certainly keep me sane!!!! ...or at least contribute to my staying as sane as possible!
To me it expresses how are previous identities are buried somwhere under the PMR/GCA, prednisone, symptoms......etc
But that’s just my thought! Everyone interprets art in their own way....
Ooooooo, I like it!!!!! I like thinking the REAL me is not dead, just buried alive, somewhere under all the PMR/GCA crap!
Ummm Melissa --uuummm for US !!!???? - it has sometimes been said we are 'joined at the hip' - someone once called us 'siamese twins' ( but never 'two-faced' ) and we often share our brains completing 'eachother''s sentences ... we ARE actually quite 'close' but physically VERY different - Ruth is a long lean athletic 'vegan' and 'moi' - well I have frequently been described as having a 'big head' (literally) !! and as for the rest of me well - I'm all in 'proportion' ...so with THAT 'brief' we wish you phenomenal creative strength and imagination - you'll need it - but we KNOW you have 'the goods' !!
How EXCITING !!!! - could this be the first artwork in a travelling 'global' exhibition with any funds raised supporting research for PMR/GCA ....
XXXX
HaHa! Yes, I told you that you'd (the both of you!) would be the first!!!!!
But alas... what you see is not always what you get!
I have plans for this beauty, you will be together, but separate; created from one, but two. similar, but very different...
...all will be revealed! AT CHRISTMAS!
Hahahahahaha
xxx
Can't wait
Yep, life is definitely upside down. The all encompassing feeling of being a mess, hair, skin, brain. Nothing as it was..... Mirrors to be avoided and don’t look in shop windows, a stranger looks back.
It’s good to have a project to focus your mind. A realise of creative energy does you a world of good.
Yes indeedy Jean56! So many masks, so little time!!!!
I've really enjoyed this thread..beautiful writing, humor and wit. Reading it picked me up. I can't concentrate very well lately and my English is declining fast, I can only communicate in Spanglish lately.. lol. So reading this and "getting it" made me feel normal for a while.
¡BUENO! Todos tenemos acceso a Google translate, así que si pierdes tu inglés todos juntos, ¡todavía te respaldamos! ¡Feliz esta breve edición de editor que te dio una recogida! xxxx
Wow! That's a perfect translation... at least grammatically. I used to translate for a living...I remember when the e-translators started, they were more a nuisance than anything else... it was harder to correct than to just translate yourself. But this is amazing.
All I can say is thank you for making me smile!!
