2025 Calendars and Upcycled Frame

---

It's 22 years since I first made calendars, when my studio was at Alby Crafts in Norfolk UK, I designed them so buyers could remove a postcard to send each month.

I started having them printed about 15 years ago, A3 wall calendars, I had many regular buyers and sent them to anyone who had purchased a painting that year and have continued to do so.

Moving to France made it difficult to post calendars to the UK due to postage costs, then Brexit kicked in, adding VAT and possible import duty, I lost most regular buyers. 

This year the printer I had found had upped their minimum run at a reasonable price, but peeps here in France have got into the habit of buying a calendar each year so I continued searching and then the printer relented and went back to the original minimum run. So bingo I put it together and it is has now arrived and is ready at my studio.

to order message me via the contact page 

They cost 17€  each  

postage to France. is 8.80€.  (postage is same for 2 calendars)

postage to the UK is 17.25€ (postage is same for 2 calendars)

At our village exhibition earlier this month I set up a still life to paint, to add interest for the visiting public

Today I was tidying my atelier for Open Studios this weekend and found an old frame a friend had given me, I cleaned it up and think it is a perfect fit 

“Nature Morte aux œufs” 45.5 x 35.5cm oil painting, now in a reclaimed antique frame.

Keep Inspired and keep warm and dry
