ID A shield shape divided into 4 quarters. The top left quarter is explaining who we are and what we are about. My first Quarter shows a Hammer and sickle to represent that I am a communist and Troskyist this symbol is surrounded by 4 peace doves in the corners of the quarter. carrying olive branches in their mouths. The birds and olive branches are white, the background is red, The hammer and sickle are black surrounded by a white circle and are in the centre of that quarter. The second quarter represents where we are from and I have done a red and white striped section here, which represents both Liverpool and Manchester which are my previous and current homes. The bottom left quarter is about our hobbies etc and i have drawn an artists palette in white, with yellow, blue, red, black and white paint on it,the background in that water is black. The final quarter is about what we hope for the future and in this corner I have drawn a bunch of keys with a house motif keyring - showing my hope to get a permanent, secure home in the future. The background in that quarter is blue.

- the central panel shows at the top, the neck and head of a unicorn, underneath that is a knight's helmet which has furling leaves in brown and grey coming out sidewars towards the edge of the panel, under neath the helmet is a shield which is broken up into many divisions, showing coats of arms of all the various families that have been married into. In the bottom half left of the central panel is a woman with a loin cloth wrapped round her and long yellow hair, on the right is a unicorn rearing up. Across the bottom of the central panel is a motif reading SI Je N'Estoy and the date is under that reading 1634. Around the central panel are 10 panels which have various floral, scroll and urn type decorative motifs, these panels are in white and yellow. The whole design is divided up by thick black lines where the leading is in the window and finer lines which I think are probably etched on the glass.

Painting of of My Mum's Family Coat of Arms

Thank you to @disabled_life_2b_lived for running the sessions with her good humour and effortless charm, I doubt if I would have ever got round to this without them ! And thank you to @all4inclusion for running the groups.

ID WIP Line drawing of part of my Mum's side of the family's coat of arms. Which is depicted in a stained glass window at a museum. I am going ot draw and paint the design. There is a lot of detail so so far I have drawn in the head and neck of a unicorn which is on top of the head piece from armour, Underneath that is a detailed shield divided into numerous sections and subsections with different patterns in each. To the right side of the shield is a unicorn on its hind legs. This is in an oval shape in the centre of the window and around are more panels - Ive not drawn everything in as yet as its so detailed and Mango decided Ide done enough and sat on my lap, refusing to budge, after a couple of hrs!

Family tree was the @all4inclusion art session and theme run by the fabulous @disabled_life_2b_lived.

ID watercolour painting of Chinese woman with hair up wearing traditional Chinese clothes. She is in a martial arts position with arms outstreched, flat palms facing upwards and thumbs curled in. She is wearing a red tunic with orange sleeves, over a black top and blue trousers. Her forward arm is outstretched to a fire horse, and she has a sugarlump in her outstretched palm which the horse is nuzzling. In the background is a traditional chinese lamp and a waterfall over rocks. Water is supposed to help calm the fire and wildness of the firehorse. The green foreground is representing wood which helps feed the fire and the red lantern is also symbolic. Bringing all into harmony and balance.

Year of The Firehorse. This week's paintinf from me for "Chinese New Year" for @all4inclusion art session run by the fabulous @disabled_life_2b_lived.

ID watercolour painting of Woman snarling and looking very angry with a knife between her teeth, which is dripping with blood. Her hands are raised to head height and contorted into taught, clawing, grasping shapes. she is wearing red nail varnish. She has wild, curly, gingerish hair, She is wearing an off the shoulder bright, floral dress with an apron with a pocket just below waist height, out of the pocket you can see 2 tails hanging. In front of her on a table are three blind mice, looking towards their tails. 2 of them have bloody areas where their tails should be and one of them still has their tail intact. But not for much longer if the woman gets her way!

WIP for this week's @all4inclusion art session and theme run by the fabulous @disabled_life_2b_lived. This week's theme is Nursery rhymes - which you can see Im having some great fun with!

ID Male life model, crouched down with one leg and kneeling on the other one, he is leading slightly over to one side and has his arm stretched out into the foreground to the left, giving hte pose great dynamism.

This is doubly annoying as not only can I not go, but ive wasted one of my limited triptans on a day when nothing is happening! Which is not good for me psychologically.
