Transformation #3 & Friday FREEBIE

Helloooo!

So many things have happened since my last post! :)

This transformation year is running fast but it's running the right direction! Eheheh!

- My hubby has finally found a job. A contract for four months, but we are positive it is going to be  a year long one. 

- My Etsy Shop is working better and I have also received some custom orders.

- I'm drawing and painting abstract art

- Aaaaaand: I'm currently working on a big and amazing custom project for a FB friend. I'll tell you about it ASAP! :)

Since January I have been joining a once a month Art Therapy group with a wonderful art therapist who lives in town. Last Sunday, while discussing our artworks she told me a word:

TRANSFORMATION!!!!

Well, I think I'm on the right track! :)

I want to thank all of you, wonderful and supportive friends, for your words and friendship!

Before showing you my latest works, I'm posting this week's Friday Freebie.

 (You can use it for personal use only)

And don't forget to join our Mixed Media Challenge down at SCRAPPIN' SISTERS!

You can win a 10,00 Euros Coupon Code for my Etsy Shop! :)

Have a great weekend!!

Found Poetry & FREEBIE Friday

Last post before leaving!

Next week I'm going to Abruzzi with my parents, because they have to sign some documents for my late aunt's house. I'm going to stay at least 2 weeks. Internet connection has always been very difficult there, so I think I'll post photos and such when I come home.

I'm leaving you with another page of my Mixed Media Found Poetry little book.

You can find a short sample video of it in my YOUTUBE CHANNEL

If you want to know what Found Poetry is, please read my previous posts. :)

It reads:

"My art
is a gift of the gods.
Mistery and
wonder"

Postcard size

And now to FREEBIE FRIDAY!

This week I want to share with you one of my digital papers.

It is for PERSONAL USE. Please, DON'T resell it or include it in personal or commercial collections.

Have a great weekend!

Friday Freebie & Funding Campaign

It took me a little bit to write this post, because I had some PC issues last week.

Now (I hope) they should be fixed and I can give thanks to the AMAZING-AWESOME-WONDERFUL SOULS who helped me with my crowdfunding campaign! 

Toda y I went to the Post Office and shipped your rewards!

So, check your mailboxes in a week or two!

I hope you will like my artworks as much as I loved drawing them. :)

The crowdfunding didn't reach the requested total but, anyway, I'm happy with it and will be able to purchase some of the supplies I need. 

As soon as I receive them I'll write a post with photos! :)

So, thank you again

MASS - GENA - DANIELA - STEF - HEATHER - STACY - VALERIE - GINA - SELE - RENATA - BRENDA!

As for my updates, at least I have one good news to tell you this week.

My  hubby has been working for two weeks now and it seems that he has got work for another 2 or 3 months. I know it's not much, but it's a starting point.

Cross your fingers!! :)

****************************************************

And now let's talk about this week's FREEBIE!

Some of you already know that I am a huge fan of horror movies/books and everything strange, monstruous and unconventional. 

This time I have a little funny monster for you. :)

I created it starting from a PS action that I purchased some months ago.

I'm having a lot of fun creating these little furry monsters! :)

Enjoy!

It's a PNG file with transparent background.

FREEBIE FRIDAY!

Last week I was chatting on Whatsapp with my nieces.

One was telling me she wanted a nose piercing but that my sister didn't want her to, while the other was talking about her favorite TV series, Supernatural.

I wanted to make them something that they could print and hang in their rooms.

Now you can enjoy them, too.

Have a great weekend!

Update #4 and FREEBIE Friday!

**********************************

Two weeks until the end of my CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN on Indiegogo and 11 FUNDERS!

I am so amazed by the generosity and love that you all have showed me. 

And I will put every cent at good profit! :)

THANK YOU!

♥

**********************************

 So, what are the news for the last two weeks?

1) I am still unemployed... It's not easy to find a job in Italy lately. I thought that with European Elections something would have changed, but it looks like it's going to be a real mess... I have sent Curricola everywhere, but no answers yet.

If you or someone you know are in need of translations (Italian to English/English to Italian), please, consider me!! :) I can also translate from Spanish. :)

2) Hubby is under medical treatment for his heart issue. In 40 days we'll know if he needs Electrical Cardioversion under general anaesthesia. I hope this will resolve the problem. The only positive thing is that because he is unemployed he doesn't have to pay for checkups and therapy. :)

3) I have added more items to my ETSY SHOP.
Had some sales, but I hope they will increase. :)

Check them out. 

Glossy Black Digital Alphabet 

1 inch Owls

This week I'm posting a couple of fabric colored buttons in .PNG format (transparent background). Size is 3x3 inches and you can resize them at your will.

29 Faces: #16 & FREEBIE

I'm slowly learning to use watercolors.

I have so many ideas in my mind lately, but very few time to put them into practice... I always have to wait for the weekend... I feel tired very easily due to my illness (endometriosis), and when I come home from work I usually do some housework and then lay on the sofa and draw and color. all my pieces have been made on the sofa or at work so far. :)

Here is my piece for today.
