I usually look for anything with watercolours but there is rarely one with really top quality work available on the high street. Tracy's calendar features lovely farmhouse scenes - tea and cake, dogs by the fire, chickens in the yard - the sort of idyllic life I'd love to be living!<br /><br />I look for quirky things, I find those mass produced 'famous name artist' calenders a bit boring. It seems to be the same few on a loop every year - I wouldn't mind if it was say, Edmund Dulac or Kay Nielson!Felicity Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145205761346733464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-16687895305891064662011-11-05T11:17:23.035+00:002011-11-05T11:17:23.035+00:00Many thanks for the tip Tina

But I don't really use a big wall calendar (we have a 3-person one in our house to write down commitments, and I use a pocket diary for my art appointments). <br /><br />And since you asked, I've made a calendar this year! Was prompted to try it by an illustrator friend. And yes, it's a "mini" I guess. Oops! I'll add that word to my descriptions. :) My top tip is actually for selling it - try a pre-order special (I did 1/3rd off) for your mailing list or social media followers. I actually covered the cost of printing with pre-sales. http://www.etsy.com/listing/83776404/2012-wall-calendar-fine-art-calendarTina Mammoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407199513409994699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-66643331988024095022011-11-04T18:56:06.972+00:002011-11-04T18:56:06.972+00:00I forgot my kitchen calendar for next year - now a...I forgot my kitchen calendar for next year - now added. <br /><br />That's one of the ones where the image is on the same page as the notes - and that's fine where you just need one line prompts. I think this is the sort Robyn was referring to - but this 12 page type doesn't have the space I require in the study. I've added to the notes to make this clearer re buying calendars online.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-69486771993189122432011-11-04T18:37:08.979+00:002011-11-04T18:37:08.979+00:00There's nothing much that won't go on the ...There's nothing much that won't go on the calendars I get. I always get one which has one page for the image and one page for the calendar and I find there's lots of space for details! I couldn't cope with a smaller calendar and less space though.<br /><br />I do the reminders to "get off butt and go somewhere" on the computer calendar.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-46754409318008606632011-11-04T16:52:51.578+00:002011-11-04T16:52:51.578+00:00I can see why you would want to look at Klimt ever...I can see why you would want to look at Klimt every day, Katherine but I am amazed that you can live without a diary. Where do you write the bits that won't fit in the little square your calendar provides for each day?Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.com
