2012 Desk Calendar, Letterpress Printed
Green Chair Press
About
“Excellently observed,”
answered Candide;
“but let us cultivate our garden.”
One of my favorite projects every year is designing and printing a desktop calendar. This year is no different. I write haiku to keep track of the encounters with the out-of-doors and my garden, and this calendar shares them with you.
This desktop calendar has 12 unbound cards, one for each month of 2012, celebrating those commonplace moments with an original haiku and artwork. It comes housed in a plastic case that doubles as a display stand.
The pages are letterpress printed on a hand-fed (and foot treadled) vintage 1890s platen press all cotton paper .
With the plastic case, it’s 5" × 5-1/2".
