I have been working on the 2011 calendar lately. I wasn't sure what I'd do this year since my first thoughts of blind impressions with watercolor fell from favor. For me, that is. To be honest, I was feeling a little overwhelmed by this yearly project. But I'm really liking the direction of this – lots of circles and lines. It's simple with only a few months having more then one colorway, slate gray text and a blind stamp at the bottom of each page. I also decided to go with a slightly smaller format – 5.5 x 8.5 – still on 100% cotton paper.

I plan to have these ready for you by the middle-to-end of September. My idea is to do a fairly small run of 200 or 250 – and I'll start up a pre-order list at the beginning of September. Sign up for the Satsuma Press Newsletter right here if you want to know when that happens.

P.S. The wreath for December will also be printed as an all-purpose holiday card in a few colors – silver sage, leaf, cranberry and metallic silver.
