All four calenders together!
This limited edition of 25 '2008' calenders will be on sale for $35.00 each.
In white, soft yellow, sage green, light gray with two eyelets at the top for easy hanging.
Each one has a full year of hand lettered tear-off pages in a very readable font with a notes section to the right.
At the end of the year you can cut the print to it's frame-able size of 12 by 12 inches and frame for the wall.


This calender is based on a very popular print I did earlier this year that sold out in a record two days so get 'em while you can!

Each calender went through the following process step by step.
1. cut paper to size
2. attach registration tabs
3. print back ground pattern of stripes in light yellow
4. print deer in chocolate brown
5. print stars in light lavender and sprinkle with steel glitter
6. print light gray along top and bottom
7. attach laser printed calender pages
9. cut to size and sign
9. in stall eyelets for easy hanging

whew!!! enjoy!

a calender!!!

i've never done one, but in honer of the show i'm participating in at the end of the month i decided to make a calendar. the show is Handmade for the Holidays, it's the Friday and Saturday after thanksgiving at Fairfax High near the Grove.

So the calendar is going to be one of those tear off ones with the image above, this will make sense when i post pics! It has one of my favorite images, the Deer and my signature star pattern with a teenie bit of glitter!

I already have the paper cut and registered, the background stripe and the deer printed!!!
pics to come soon, i promise!
