Calendar Girl(s)
In my rumpus room, sandwiched between the filing cabinet and the radiator, is a box of calendars in which I am the Girl-of-the-Month. In fact, I am the Girl-of-EVERY-Month.
Life sometimes surprises the heck out of me.
Here’s what happened. Last March, I suddenly found myself with a lot of free time. So I started making masks to donate out of scraps I had accumulated from being a person who sews sundresses and pillow cases and things, and also from being a person who is abysmal at knowing how much fabric those sundresses and pillow cases and things actually require. Then, because I thought it would be funny, I took a few photographs of myself wearing the masks…with the matching sundresses and pillow cases and things.
I really had so much free time.
I texted the pictures to my family, thinking the trail would likely end there. But my sister also thought they were funny, so she fed me some wine and set me up on Instagram. (This is incidentally also how I ended up on Facebook and OKCupid. Andrea and Wine make a very persuasive team.)
Turned out, a small-but-vocal segment of the internet also thought they were funny, and folks began suggesting there ought to be a calendar. I waffled for a long time, (I am a world-class waffler), but finally decided that if I DID make a calendar, I could maybe sell it to benefit other artists who also suddenly had way too much time on their hands. I dug through my scraps and sundresses and pillowcases and things and decided that I could indeed come up with twelve.
And so, here we are.
