Thanks for sharing the (as usual) very useful information. We can accomplish everything (except the sketching itself!) at our computers these days!.

Love your calender. I have a birthday calender. Instead of the calendar there are lines for each day (to insert a birthday reminder)Each month has a different painting. I have used it for quite a few years. I have thought it would be a great shower gift for a new bride with the names already added on the dates of family birthdays.

Excellent, Martha, thoughtful and beautiful.
The happy recipients of such a lovely gift will no doubt be reluctant to write in it!

Oh, geesh, I would have loved to have bought yours instead of the one I actually have. I just can’t bring myself to buy a 2nd one.

You should do this next year, and then I can get a 2009 Trumpetvine calendar

Thank you everyone!

Irene: As for your question about an economical fountain pen, many people seem to like the Lamy Safari with Extra Fine nib. I have not tried it myself, but it apparently tolerates permanent ink well and makes a fairly fine line. It is widely available in stationary stores, at least in the US. And by mail order, of course.

What a great idea! And what an incentive to make sure you have at least a dozen calendar worthy sketches for the calendar!

What a wonderful idea and your sketches work so well. They all have such a cohesive feel, with that ethereal look that you have to your work. Thanks so much for sharing!
