Have snooped back a little - your work is stunning!!<br /><br />Firstly the piece itself is mesmerising and so so clever. Brilliant use of techniques, tools and embellies. Talk about amazing illustration of a condition.<br /><br />Secondly, I had never heard of Chiari but find this v interesting. (I have had M.E. for last 13 years).<br /><br />You were in my head to visit as I know you have visited me and kindly followed. I then saw your name on the SSS email - congrats on very well deserved spotlight. <br /><br />I'm so glad to have discovered you and to follow back as your work is incredible!

He has an excellent surgeon, whom we see every 2 nd year, with an MRI, to make sure he is progressing well, as he is. He is now 15, and had the surgery at 3. We found out what he had thru MRI, because he also has scoliosis. My heart goes out to you, as you suffered through all those years without knowing. I wish you well!LauraEvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812147126954335150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988193000034637284.post-85452210773086638332013-09-14T01:13:34.723-04:002013-09-14T01:13:34.723-04:00Congrats MAry Elizabeth!

Your canvas is wonderful, all the details are so through through and I love how you used the flourish stamp and of course all those gears.

I'd never heard of it but you've definitely educated me through your art and your blog post. Thanks for sharing such a personal story. Very inspirational and your canvas is just amazing! It makes so much sense after reading your post and what a perfect way to put into art what you were going through. I also wanted to thank you for your always uplifting and sweet comments you leave on my blog. I always enjoy hearing from you as you are such a delightful person. I loved reading your story about going to London and how my little challenge envelope reminded you of that experience with your mother! That made me feel so good! <3 CandyCandy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535189076995596464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988193000034637284.post-26121811394774017592013-09-08T16:14:13.001-04:002013-09-08T16:14:13.001-04:00Mary Elizabeth what a heartfelt post, & a FABU...Mary Elizabeth what a heartfelt post, & a FABULOUS work-of-art!

I too have been touched by the life and big problems relating to health and I understand how you feel! I'm glad you've solved through an Italian doctor! It 's true? Another strange coincidence: the surname of my mother is the same as the name of the disease where you have suffered:Chiari! It 's amazing destiny! Beautiful work and really full of emotion! My English is horrible, I know! I'm sorry!
