2016 Tangle It! Mandala Challenge & Moon Phases

Helloooo!!

I have been a busy bee for the last month. The new project is going to be ready soon and I've been working on some custom drawings. :)

But I have also been enjoying drawing tangle mandalas for my FB Group Weekly Challenge

2016 TANGLEIT! MANDALA CHALLENGE

Each week we have a prompt.

You can join each week or draw the ones you are most tuned to.

If you don't want to join on Facebook, you can post a link to your blogpost here in the comments and I'll come visit! :)

Check out our first 5 promts and show me your creations!

NEW BEGINNINGS

ENJOY THE SILENCE

MAKE A WISH

STONES

DIAMONDS

As you can see I love circles and round shapes.

I have been inspired by an amazing friend to draw a set of Moon Phases that I put on sale in my Etsy Shop.

It's a printable sheet.

Check it out.

Have a great weekend!

Out of my Comfort Zone & New Etsy Items

Helloooo!

This week I have been working on some "out of my comfort zone" pages.

I'm becoming obsessed by watercolors and watered acrilycs and I thought of giving a try at making some inkblot pages.

What do you think?

On Sunday I went to an Art Therapy meeting. It was the first time for me, but the session has been very enlightening.

I used chalk (another "out of my comfort zone" medium) to create this:

And I have also updated my Etsy Shop (click for link) with some new printable items for planners lovers!

 

Enjoy your week! :)

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.

What do you do to Brighten your Day? FREEBIE

Uff.... taking a pause from double shifts at work! 

Althought I haven't got the time yet to read the PDFs and watch the videos of the e-courses down at

I have been looking around the community and met some very inspiring ladies. 

In my prevous post I wrote that I needed a change.

Well, being this the first post of my renewal time I want to share with you my new list of "things to do to brighten your day". 

WHAT DO YOU DO TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY?

I made this list and will try to stick to it as hard as I can.

Deep in my heart I'm a loner. I'm kind of bipolar and don't like physical contact much. And I'm also a BIG paranoid and pessimist. But I also like laughing, learning and talking to other people.

What do I need to feel better and start thinking like a Goddess? 

I need to think positive. I know it may sound like New Age Stuff, but I've  come to realize that it's so simple and so true. If you think positive then you'll see lots of good things and opportunities around you.

This week I will follow my to do list.

What about you? Please, leave me your comments. I'll be very happy to read them.

The list is made in my own style, of course. :)

It is  FREE for you to share, copy, print and hang to your wall if you think it fits you as well.

The size is A4 (letter).

ENJOY!!

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

Now I want to introduce you a new interesting CHALLENGE that I'm going to take on February 1st:

 It will be hosted by Ayala at AYALA ART.

We will draw one face a day for the 29 days of February.

This is what Ayala says about her challenge:

"I love leap years! Since this year February has 29 days, I will be celebrating it doing something fun... do you want to join me?
29 faces in February! Why? Because we love to paint, sketch, illustrate and draw!
Any face... any medium, any size, any technique. 29 pieces total."
