Last January I challenged myself to take a word a week and use it as inspiration to make a book (or, really, anything). In April I got busy with other things, and stopped. But not before I had enough ideas for a year’s worth of bookmaking. One week I made half a dozen collages and I’ve used those as the starting point for my 2013 calendar. Despite my spotty blogging since April, I’ve been slowly and steadily working away on the calendar, and yesterday I finished. They are printed, cut, collated and stored in their plastic stands, waiting to be sold this fall. That’s a pile of them on the left. As with all my other calendars, this one has a design and haiku for each month—for July (shown):

OMG they’re gorgeous. Kudos to you.
