Hi Amber and welcome. Your artwork is fabulous! The best advice I recieved was to mourn your hair loss like the loss of a friend. I like being different!

Hi Amber,
Beautiful music! I love that song, "What a Difference a Day Makes." Also, I LOVE your painting! I'm an artist too.
Do you sell in galleries? Tell me more about your work.
Anyway, I know how hard it is to deal with alopecia. I have had it for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better about everything. Check it out on my page -- and WELCOME!

Amber, I know I've seen your work in magazines or something...maybe ads? Were you in Art Calendar?
You are also gorgeous!
Anyway -- check out my new series on my web site: www.LAButlerArtist.com. What's your web site? What galleries are you in?
Hugs!

Hi,
I have 3 kids. 2 girls and a boy Grace, Ava, Aiden. I would love one more but it's been tough adjusting to 3. I lost about 50 % of my hair then shaved it I couldn't do anything with what I had left. I started the injections right after the birth of my son in Sept by Jan I had full regrowth. I have been getting injectoins every 6-7 weeks and only have 3 spots right now that i can hide. I have lost some female hair and my eyebrows are thinning so not sure where I'm headed now. I do lose a ton of hair still so i keep looking for that right wig, the last one i had was not for me but I had rushed into buying it and didn't like it at all. Is yours real hair?
Your art is amazing wow!!! So you have 4 kids? What's that like?

well gotta go get stuff ready for school tomorrow/
thanks for all the info

Hi,

Well maybe I can talk my hubby into one more I just feel there maybe someone missing from our little family. I'm just scared I'll never get back into shape. Ugh still have 20 lbs to lose and he's one!!!!

Hey go for it!! If I lose my hair again I will try different styles too. I paid 1000 for my last wig and would like to donate it. I think I found the wig you have is it Nevada by chance??

Well agian thanks for the info.

Yes I remember going into that mind 'space'...like meditation, and time just didn't exist. I'm off for a week's holiday tomorrow but when I return I'm definately going to start painting something! I like pastels and acrylics...no fumes. Thanks for the inspiration :)
