Free Printable - calendar pages for ring planners 🦢

‿̩͙⊱༒︎༻♱༺༒︎⊰‿̩͙

I've been workshopping this calendar freebie for a couple months now, but it's finally in a state where I feel comfortable publishing it! I'd love to have people try it out and let me know if there's any improvements I could make :)

The 'Personal Size' images are ready to be printed on 8.5" x 11" printer paper. 

There are also 'No Size' images so you can resize for your specific needs.

My stamped up calendar for the upcoming month of June - printed on cream colored paper. 

The artwork used for the background are page ornamentals from Edmund Dulac's Fairy-Book, which is within the public domain. 


Here's my personal size planner - a 2003 hello kitty ring planner! (❁´◡`❁)

If you end up using these inserts I'd love to know!

"Twin-Headed": art trade process extras

 

 Twin-Headed, 2026. Ink & pencil on paper. 7" x 9"

This piece is my half of an art trade with a friend on instagram. 

I tried a new method of page distressing for this piece which involved an initial wash of tea. After letting the tea settle into the paper I added a wash of gray ink to the still wet page.

    When I originally tea dyed the paper, I used my bare hands (not something to do if you prize pristine, white fingernails, mind you!). The ink wash brought out that evidence of human touch; pooling in the areas left by my fingertips, which makes the distressed paper all the more interesting to look at.


Despite sharing a body, wearing the same clothes, and sporting the same hairstyle, you can see the distinct difference in their attitudes. One concerned, one apathetic to the advancing centipede.


The distressed paper makes a wonderful contrast to a white chalk pencil, which I used sparingly to softly add highlights.
