For those who remember my first blog post about a series of linoleum block cuts I was working on, those are finished!

Below is the final product I created with those linocuts! Introducing the 2010 Beak and Botany calendar. As the name suggests, it features a variety of birds and plant life, and one tree (which I know is not botanical, but give me a break).

While it may be a little late to post a calendar for sale after the new year has started, here I am doing just that. This isn’t your normal desk calendar, this 2010 desk calendar is miniature, meaning it only measures 3 in. x 3 in. when folded to show one month at a time. Or set it up accordian style to show 6 months at a time, when unfolded it measures a total length of 18 inches. Beak and Botany is the perfect companion to set on your desk without taking up much space. It is created with my originally designed linocuts, a total of 15 featured throughout the twelve months. Each calendar varies slightly due to being hand stamped, folded and trimmed. These calendars are carefully hand-printed on lovely Mohawk Via Felt 80 lb. cover paper using both pigment and dye based inks. Included with the calendar is one cork stand. Each cork stand will vary slightly due to being hand cut. Each calendar arrives neatly packaged in a semi-transparent glassine envelope ready for gift-giving or for your own pleasure.
