Felt Makech

I was so happy yesterday when the mail man delivered this package to me. Finally I have this book in my hand! The Mail Me Art short and sweet book with my felt Makech.

Illustrations for The Sketchbook Project

Been doing these cute animal illustrations for The Sketchbook Project all day today.
11 more to finish :)

Animal sketching

Had an awful night with stomach ache and couldn't sleep until today at 12 in the afternoon today, meds just did not kick in until then. Been very stressed because they just told me that my house is not going to be ready until May, I was hoping it would not take that much time for them to finish but I guess they are. And of course my stomach takes the consequences of worrying too much.

So I had a very slow day today but managed to do some animal sketches for the Sketchbook Project.

Hopefully will finish sketching everything today so I can start painting them tomorrow.

The first photo is Bastian and I trying to relax by watching Totoro while some iced tea and a piece of cheesecake waited for me :) after all it is a really nice day doing what I love.

Mail Me Art 2013

This is the envelope I am sending to Mail Me Art. This will be my second time, but this time is a little different because only 200 people were invited and I got to be one of them :)

I chose to send a Makech (mexican insect that they sell at local markets here in Merida with glued rhinestones to their back as pets) made out of felt and embellished with beads and buttons. 

Will be sending it to United Kingdom very soon, they will be showing my piece (if it gets there, fingers crossed!) in an exhibition and in their website and finally in their Mail Me Art book. 

I am very excited about this! 

Wish my art piece good luck so it gets there safely :)

Here is their website if you want to enter next time or see some of the pieces submitted :
