I noticed that Kate had her calendar post ready, so I quickly went to photograph my pages. This is how my September pages began. I think these were the perfect colors for this month's pages.
Here are the two pages finished. You can see I added the leaves for the month, because I really prefer to decorate my pages at the end of the month, since I then have a better idea how the month progressed.
Here is the left side (click to read the daily entries). The cats are left over from my Halloween swap and I used them on days
when I was working around the house and not in the studio, where Bleubeard is not allowed. This is the right side, and I love these leaves I cut from a magazine.
And here we are waiting for October with its pumpkins and a Xylene transfer of a haunted house. I'm not crazy about the pink with the orange pumpkins, but that was the color most prevalent on the page. I may try to cover it over with more paint toward the end of the month. Please go to The Kathryn Wheel for more calendar pages.
Love it! Will go check out the others pages too.
ReplyDeleteexcellent pages, love the autumn vibe!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea so much--later on you can go back and see how your days were filled--not to mention--great art too.

ReplyDeletecalendar pages are something i want to try out and it seems like such a good idea to finish them after the month is done but i doubt if i'll be able to finish anything on time. i wonder. i've been thinking of making a calendar for next year but now i'm wondering if i can manage it your way.
ReplyDeleteLove to see how pages develop - enjoy autumn. Seems so odd to see your leaves when ours are just budding for spring :-)

ReplyDeleteI think these calendars are really cool...evidence of your daily life...to remember the simple things and pleasures of each day. I like those leaves too!
ReplyDeleteI love the falling leaves on the right side of the calendar page.
ReplyDeleteYou are ready on time every month! How do you do it?! Your pages look fab, and actually pink/orange is my fave colour combo ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely autumn feel to your pages .... as I head into spring. What a hoot.
