Found this little guy at a shop in San Miguel de Allende this morning
and had to bring him home. He makes me smile :-)

He looks so delicate... I can see him as your next project or a likeness, eh?
he is realy funny and i'm sure he can scare scorpion!
he's the same colours as your work
i love the carved wooden animals..around 1986 we traveled several times to Oaxaca and met the wonderful wood carver,Manuel Jimenez..i have a collection of about 15 assorted piece of his(with sons) work..looking at them never fails to make me happy.
OMG, I love this!
He is simply delightful!!! Thanks for passing on the smile :D
Oh I so love love love love this!!! Can I just say.... Love!!!
What a cute little guy. He's enough to make anybody smile.
Love him!
he is almost as cute as mexican fern
i love the colors and i am not a bug lover by any means ;o)
In fact, the facet of colours blur my aversion for mantis...
very nice

Now this is the kind of bug I wouldn't be afraid of! He's lovely. :)
The most beautiful praying mantis I`ve ever seen;)
As colorful as Mexico. I like Mantis, if they are made of wood ;-) And this is especially nice.
So joyful ! Love the color ! Good find.
Thanks for showing.

Pardon me while I mine the depths of your very beautiful blog. I followed a link from my local quilt shop, which was advertising the arrival of your lovely new fabric. Fabulous content. Thank you.

Hermoso. Conoci estas pequeñas esculpturas armables/desarmables, tipicas de Mexico, aqui en Bolivia (santa cruz de la sierra, donde vivo), por una tienda de artesanias de tu pais. Nunca fui, pero se que Mexico es una fiesta de colores muy inspiradores. Y esta mantis esta liiinda :)
It is wonderful. I love this
My sister came home from San Miguel with several pieces that look just like that. I wonder if it's the same artist or just a local style. They make me happy, too.
I LOVE BUGS AND THIS ONE IS ADORABLE!
Great find!
You should make a line of plates with your birds! They are so pretty!
El mantis de colores es lo mas lindo que vi en mi vida!! (bueno, vi cosas mas lindas, pero esta es muy hermosa!!!)
