Chrissie - seeking the divine

About Me

Ageing rock chick/ Long-suffering Mum to 'Box' i.e. Amy - cool drummer-girl kid who drives me bonkers. Arty/Music fan. Studied textile design at Glasgow School of Art and have always liked colours and imagery in art by the Impressionists and Pre-Raphaelites; mosaics like the Ravenna mosaics and the work of Gaudi and his assistant Jujol in Barcelona. I like black and white photography and photographic collage. Music and love underpin everything in my life and the main thing I feel about life is that we should all try to be more honest with each other about everything...try it, it usually works! :) I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Baldy Heid

It was simple really....short surgical procedure for removal of a harmless cyst.  The reality was a tad more yuk.  A bit more blood, bit more pain and a bit more aftershock than I was expect...
