I hope your New Years was good fun. I for one am not really a fan. It's almost a superstition now that New Years Eve is just bunkaroo for me. And this year was kinda more confirmation. But! I am a firm believer in the year to come and am ready for a productive and creative 2010!
Which is why we've really got to hand it to Etsy! If you haven't popped over in a while you MUST have a look at what has now become a designers haven. A world of self propelled creators who answer to their own artistic credo's and offer them up bravely to the public. I have just spent a great deal of time enjoying the splendor over at Etsy. This years line up for 2010 Calendars from truly independent artists is killer! I've listed my fave lineup and included prices because I am so impressed with the cost of these mostly-home spun creations & production at these prices. If you want original art Etsy is the best invention ever.
My favorites are: YeeHaw's Tree Calendar $35, Be Happy Now's painting calendar $18, Jen Skelley's owl illo $18, & a most impressive collection from Stephanie fizer- her Kokeshi Darling calendar set $20, Odd Ball Press & the Tidal Wave $5, Jen Hewett's Fishnet pocket calendar $13, & Pink Roses 1220 big prints $10.
And if you are feelin my designs for 2010 then PAPAYA is offering a special program for the next two months for blog readers here and over at the PAPAYA blog.
