Part of the pleasure of tradition is experiencing the renewed hope cycles bring. I celebrate by creating calendars. I started years ago using handset letterpress type accompanied by single color linoleum cuts. I got a little fancy and added rainbow rolls for my linocuts. Eventually I began printing from my computer—sometimes black and white, sometimes full color on my snazzy Epson. This year my calendar features scenic details from my book The East-West House. I've created different versions in varied sizes. My mini-ones fit in a business envelope and will also serve as promo.
SPUDS, send me your address at christy@christyhale.com and I'll mail you a mini!
Oh, Christy, I'd love one of your mini calendars with scenic details from your book! Doug, too, makes calendars with his photos. This will be our third year of a Misty Hill Lodge calendar!
ReplyDeleteEdie, trade ya!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness those are GORGEOUS Christy! Love these!
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteI agree, your calendars are GORGEOUS! What a treasured gift to give your friends.
ReplyDeleteFrequently I make my own Christmas cards (black and white linoleum prints that I then go back and hand watercolor) but this year I have been so busy that I've had to put that tradition aside. Hopefully next year.
Christy, these are beautiful. I will send my address pronto. Have a great holiday season.
ReplyDeleteChristy-- what beautiful calendars! Such a great way to anticipate the new year and the cycles of the seasons revolving again. And perfect gifts. Thank you for the inspiration!
