My hair project Can You Make Hair for Me? @canyoumakehair is hitting the road...the heads are going to #Chicago! I'm honored to be part of Artoma: The Art of Cancer, a show featuring five artists of different disciplines whose lives were impacted by a cancer diagnosis: Barbara VanKanegan, Michael F. Gallagher, Richard Zeid and Barbara Youngquist. The opening is January 10, 6-10 pm. Unfortunately I expect to be back in the hospital at that time for a CAR t-cell treatment and won't be able to make it. But is you're in Chicago and can go, take some pictures for me! Thank you @richardzeid for inviting me to take part, I'm very grateful. 🌻👩🏻‍🦲🌈#cancer #cancerawareness #lymphoma #lymphomaachiever #cancerartists #exhibition #cancerandart https://www.instagram.com/p/B5q9FxTHO_K/?igshid=1xx64y42y7j9w

I was driving to get coffee the other morning and I passed this young woman waiting for the schoolbus. Oh the ennui of the young! But I always wanted blue hair...so went out and found this fabulous scarf at the Holy Trinity Church Thrift Store in West Harwich! 👏🌻⛪️This might be one of my last posts before I head into the hospital on Saturday. 🏥I will most likely be out for 3 weeks so so. But when I return, I will be making hair again and you can, too! Please submit your hair ideas to me, I might be able to make them happen!👩🏻‍🦲👩🏽‍🦱👩🏻‍🦰🥚 (at Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HgZrRA_OY/?igshid=v3il1uk2t153

I just got out of bed and it was a little colder this morning so I put on this fabulous newspaper hair on my head made by and her grandaughter! It goes well with my decaf and my Ms. Cheeze mug. This was originally designed as a pirate hair and I reworked it a bit as pirate outfits were hard to come by. I'll post the original photos as well. Thanks, Pat!

This beautiful feather hair made by spiritualist and stylist @magicmoma77 hair is an homage to the shamanic tradition. She adorned me with spirit animals to give me extra strength and good will during my stem cell transplant and created a "hair" that looks a lot like my old haircut. If you look closely in some of the images you can see my port.;) 🐢 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2bkt7UglOy/?igshid=cuw2d55ahcg6
