About one year ago I received an e-mail from Katherine Wong from Victionary, a design book publisher and workshop based in Hong Kong. She asked me if I want to participate on they last book project called “Save the date” about calendar designs; honestly, my first thought were not too much confident precisely, but later I said: Why not? So I got in touch with the girl and some days after I sent my high res photographs of my 2010 calendars.

One year later, I am very proud and obviously excited because this book finally is on my hands. Is very delicious to see your name and designs printed on the paper of an international publication.

My proud doesn’t fit on me right now. So happy.

You can see the 2010 Mouscacho Calendars featured on Typography Served here.

ANd you can purchase “Save the Date” available on Amazon.

I am very glad and proud to announce that the new Mouscacho Escapularios summer collection is about to come very soon. I am working very hard to create the most beautiful scapulars of all the time. Stay so tuned!

This made me laugh. LOL But it made me think, also about this sort of complicated situation Saudi Arabian Starbucks logo update.

Finally! The Scapulars 2010 by Mouscacho are now available to buy at Etsy. 3 unique 1/1 designs.

But, what is a scapular?

An escapular is somewhat large length of cloth suspended both front and back from the shoulders of the wearers. It may vary in shape, color, size and style. Monastic scapulars originated as aprons worn by medieval monks, and were later extended to habits for members of religious organizations, orders or confraternities. Monastic scapulars now form part of the habit of monks and nuns in many Christian orders.

By revamping the scapulars I pretend to get it out of the religious context, and turn them into gorgeous and unique non-repeatable art objects. Full of color and texture, trying with threads, ribbons, fabric, chaquira, spangle and some “milagritos” (a little metallic piece, shaped in different silhouettes like heart, arm, head, etc; used by religious people to pray an specific miracle from their own saints).
