Women Standing with Women!

Reclaim These Streets

Trigger Warning - Discussing women's continued concerns about their safety following the disappearance of Sarah Everard I am prompted today by extremely sad news in this country, that unrelated to Covid19, a young woman Sarah Everard is still missing. I cannot imagine the pain her family and friends are experiencing. As a parent, it has … Continue reading Women Standing with Women!

Drawing a Vase

I've been wanting to try and 'master' the impression of transparency on a doodle. And I think I may have done it. Woohoo!! But after a few attempts. The images below were created on PicsArt Color.

Covid19 Vaccination – My Experience
