Yesterday I visited the new building of Caixa Forum here in Madrid. It was designed by swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre De Menon.





This building dedicated to the arts will hold exhibitions, concerts, screenings and conferences.



Outside you can see some of Igor Mitoraj's sculptures.

I discovered in London the photograph Margaret Bourke-White. Such beautiful pictures.

Before my list continues growing I have to post about the "Make my day award" that Christiane gave me (Thank you Christiane, I'm sorry I'm late). Today my award goes to:
Jamie and her blog : not only because she posted and interview with me, but also because you find a lot of information about other crafters and artists.
Christiane's new website.
Books by its cover: always inspiring
Bloesem Kids.
Evalunda and her Tokio pictures.

I was tagged by Karin some time ago: "Do you have any long-time wishes or heart projects? Hmmmm... maybe trying pottery or have a big garden and gardening... I change my mind everytime.

I've been busy this week, finishing a project. I can't talk about it now (it's a secret!) but I'll let you know in the up coming months.

Do you feel the springtime?

Website

I finished some changes on my website and the shop is updated.
Thanks Ana for your help! (she's so good in actionscript and all this kind of stuff!)
Harriet Russell.
If you have kids I'm sure they love Pocoyo.

Screenprinting

I finished some Beachdog screenprints and plushies fro the shop.

Wonderful ! The Pearce Sisters.

Flu

I've been sick again... all week in bed!
Here I post some pictures of the last days:

My personal med: Apple and honey cake and tea with lemon and honey.


Reading: "New Vintage Type".


I received a great gift from Marie Louise Sundqvist. One of the items arrived broken but I glued it. I just love everything! Thanks Marie Louise!

Excuse me if I haven't answer some of your emails. I will in the next days, I promise.

Que no os separen

One year ago I made this design for a spanish association called El parto es nuestro. I have a few friends there and they wanted and illustration to promote her new campaign to report the childbirth and mothers situation in our medical system (denouncing the medicalization of the natural process of birth).

The name of this campaign is "Que no os separen". In its website you'll find a lot of useful information and testimonies about women experiences. It's all in spanish.
I find this campaign a great idea, we should all know our rights about this subject, even when we are not mothers.

I'll thank again these courageous women for giving me the opportunity to participate in the campaign. I wish it a lot of succes.
