The palette vs the painting 🎄

@NICEComms Will be taking a few days to digest the info and changes, we all hope for positive change and to lower the wait times, but we've known the definition of endometriosis for a long time now, and when so many people use you for resource, it's important to carry the correct info 🤞💛

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

@NICEComms Is there a way to edit the misinformation on your website?

"Endometriosis is a chronic long-term condition that develops when cells normally found in the womb are present elsewhere in the body such as the bladder or bowel."

Endometriosis is not the endometrium, misinfo harms

But yeah turns out on top of everything else, Ur girl is hypermobile as fuck and now needs to get soft orthotic inserts while I wait for a referral for a biomechanical assessment bc some of my pain and energy depletions could be from standing and walking in a v hypermobile way 😂

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

I feel like I'm so used to having awful medical appointments that I actually walked out of today's one really fuckin confused because it was really productive and we figured out so much together??? It was such an open conversation with a plan in place?? What is this lol

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

Three paintings in one day, she's so back

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

Okay so last night was the coolest night ever, never did I expect to see the Northern lights dancing about the sky in Leith!! Gorgeous!!! It was so visible to the naked eye, felt so lucky 🥹🩷

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

Omg I forgot to show you guys the mural??? I'm absolutely obsessed

And yes I added glitter to the snow 😌😌

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

The way I'm in absolute agony after working on a mural that I completed in 6 hours 🥲 it was absolutely worth it though, it's for my mum and I can't wait to see her reaction lol

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

Buzzing to share what I've been working on this week - I was so excited about this idea that I actually painted all 10 places in one day so that I could immediately turn them into stickers 🤣🤣

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

I actually had such a good idea this week that I spent yesterday painting ten mini paintings for it and UGHHHH it's coming together so well I'm so excited to shareeeee I love when my brain works

Did my first ever workshop today and had the best most wholesome time 🥹

Was a duo workshop with my studio buddy doing the paint pouring session and everyone had so much fun!!

Had the most incredible weekend at Colony of Artists!! There's such a wholesome vibe, everyone is so excited to just talk art and look at pretty things and speak to everyone and it's just fab 🥹🩷 I absolutely adore this event

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

Utterly obsessed with how this came out

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

@ALLJArt Thank you my love, I really hope so, they just seem to have zero accountability and all of the ego but it lights that fire in my belly, just gonna keep joining in on the noise and hope that change happens sometime 🤞🤞🤞 I WILL be a pain in their arse 🥰🤣

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

I got a response to my complaint and all I'm gonna say is that everyone could become disabled at one point in their lives and if that happens to anyone handling my case, I sincerely hope they receive the same duty of care that I and so many others have

I'm so done 🥲

[Amy 🌊💙 @alistondesigns]

Have come back home SO inspired, as always I have so many markets and even workshops planned but I *will* make time to paint the scenes I've seen 🤝🤝🤝 especially this dip near Symi because oh my god how is this real 😍
