2007 calendars

It is that time of year again. Shopping for everyone on your list can be a drag. But resist the urge to go to the mall. I've looked for the best handmade AND affordable gifts to give and get. First up are the calendars. They are fun because you can buy one for yourself too without feeling too greedy. I really like artists and designers are coming out with such great limited edition calandars now. You can retire the Cathy one from last year.


Thirteen prints held together with binder clips this color inkjet calendar is printed 4 x 4" on archival paper. From Bethany Designs. The prints are $18.


The two calendars above are from Limescreen. The limited edition seriagraph posters have two different images printed on 11 x 23.5" white cover stock. The calendars are on the
bottom so at the end of the year chop them off and keep the print. At $10 each they are perfect for to hang in your office.

Letterpress is everywhere right now. The tactile quality of it is like nothing else. This limited edition calendar from ilee has a different letterpressed image for each month. It comes with a clear jewel case to sit on your desk but I think it would be nice on the wall. One year of deer and flower cuteness for $17.

Swedish artist Camilla Engman's offset printed and wire-bound calendar is a work of art. She also has very affordable prints available on her website. The calendar is 6.3 x 11.7 inches and $24.


Last but not least is San Fransisco ceramicist Diana Fayt's calendar. Offset printed in Japan on Japanese paper it has a hole at the top to hang on the wall. $28
