A Year of Ginkgoes

Last year I made ginkgo banners and table runners, and I have yet to wash the images of my screen (not sure if I ever will ...), so this year I decided to use them to make calendars.

I screened an edition of 50 - I have never produced an edition that big, and it took a long time. Some of the months have two images also, which took more time. I love how these turned out, I am actually pretty obsessed with them. So humor me while I post a ton of photos of the end result. January is my very favorite, the gold ink is my favorite to print with and I love how glittery it is.

ooooh a duvet cover! mmm that might be a really good long-term project ... and t-shirts or scarves or pillow cases in the mean time!

they were TOTALLY filling up our office for awhile. I had them drying all over the shelves, card table, and Shane's desk :) I need a drying rack!! My high school had such a great industrial sized one, I need a mini version.
