Calendar Progress
Things are seriously crazy around here. I'm working 10 and 12 hour days at work, and I come home and draw, carve, print, draw, carve, print over and over again. I'm daydreaming on my way home from work everyday about things like "What does September mean? Can I carve a million polka dots?" Etc, etc.
I'm running out of canvases and old matboard to put all the prints on to dry. I'm really really on a race against time, because if I don't get these done in the next few days, they won't dry, and I won't be able to sell them on Etsy. That said, I'm going to use them as gifts also. And I'm only making 50 calendars total. Can you hear the blind justification in my voice? Nuts, I tell you, nuts.
I'm at 8 months completed, 1 more carved but not printed, and April, September, and October still to be carved. Off to my real job, which seems like a vacation after long evenings of manual labor.

Can I just tell you how much I miss and adore you? I just love that you are crazier about printing than I am.
Do you think next year you might pre-plan? Or do you prefer the by-the-seat-of-your-pants method of production?
It snowed a tiny bit yesterday, nothing like what you got, didn't even stick
So, so, cute! I can't wait to see the finished product!!!
Speaking of your day job, I've not heard a thing about it. Are you liking it??? You'll have to give me (or all of your blog readers) the scoop sometime!
