What I have been up in March


It looks like this year I'm not being very "bloggy".
I admit that I am depressed about not having a job. I have sent so many CVs lately but nobody called me. Italy has entered a very big crisis and thousands of people are losing their jobs. The only ones working are those from non-European Community Countries... Moreover, due to Italian laws, if you are more than 35 years old you have a hard time finding a new job but you are also too young for retirement!
SO, WHAT SHALL WE DO?
In a few months I won't receive my unemployment check anymore. What if I cannot find a job before July? How will I pay my bills? I cannot even sell my house, because the real estate business is almost dead. 
Anyway, as we say in Italy: "Hope is the last one to die". So, I'll keep calm and send more CVs.
I am also making some new items for my ETSY SHOP and for some custom orders. I'll show you in a couple of days.

I am a little behind with art challenges, but I have been very busy drawing and giving a try at painting.
This is some of the Art I have made in March. Luckily I have been longsighted and bought provisions of paper and colors last year!!! :)

Doodle Moleskine.

Owls cards that you can find in my Etsy Shop KAIZENDOODLES.

 Whimsical Doodle Gardens (on Etsy in a couple of days). Size is A4.

Paintings on wood. 50x50 cm. The first one is a mixed media work: collage, acrylics, charcoal, stamping. The second one is alcohol inks and acrylics.

Have a great week everyone!!

  6. It is seriously difficult to be "bloggy" when you're stressed and depressed. I applaud you for keeping at it, both with your CVs and with your art! Your gardens are wonderful, and I dig your mixed media work!

  7. Beautiful artwork, your owls are so sweet, most of them look so vulnerable. So sorry about all your trouble and Italy's fiscal woes. I hope you find some kind of work soon! Wishing you well!

  8. Your art work is gorgeous and I think by being persistent helps although it can be frustrating at times. My uncle's wife and their kids i Italy are having the same difficulties as you. My mom asked my husband if there was any way he could help her nephew get a job here in Canada but I don't think it's that easy, he will have to check into it. I hope things get better soon over there , very heart breaking to hear our home country is in such a peril. Will keep you in my prays for better days ahead.

    Take care,
    Annabelle

    p.s. Have you tried selling your work on EBAY?
