Anna Brones
The artwork in this year's calendar is different than usual! Every piece in this year’s calendar is an ink drawing. In a flattened, digital age, I wanted something that felt more textural, more tactile. A little more wild. I went outside the studio and picked a dried stem of a bracken fern. I dipped it in the ink jar and slowly began to make marks on the page, creating scenes and abstractions inspired by places and views that I love. Some real, some imaginary.
The result is a collection of drawings that hopefully feel more alive, like they’ll jump off the page.
The calendars are loose, unbound, 7x5" sheets and printed on recycled paper in Seattle, Washington. Once cut, postcards are about 4x5"

Use in the kitchen to dry hands or dishes, or to cover your sourdough boule as it rises
Use it as a furoshiki: wrap a bottle of wine or a small box to give as a housewarming or holiday present, or use it to carry a picnic lunch to your local park

Leigh C Artist
Leigh C Artist is the passion project of Stella, a queer neurodivergent creative. She's spent years cultivating an eclectic, colorful, maximalist fashion sense for herself, and now she's channeling that same energy into all the jewelry and accessories that she makes to sell. She strives for each piece to be as unique as the person who wears it, but they're all united by a sense of whimsy and a love for all things bright and colorful. Her work has been described as "Claire's but for grown ups", which she wears as a badge of honor.
