Check out this amazing, five color Southwestern letterpress wall calendar by Goose Down Press. Such an intricate pattern, and the deckle edge detail at the bottom is great.

I love the color and texture in Oh My Deer’s Watercolor Wash wall calendar. So pretty!

Pressbound has two wonderful letterpress calendars this year. First up, a Russian nesting doll desk calendar with the little dolls dressed up in cute, seasonal attire.

And the second annual design in what is becoming a series, a letterpress wall calendar that blends Polish wycinanki (the Polish version of paper cut folk art) with Russian nesting dolls. This one looks great in a frame!

Calling all bobbies and coppers! The Criminels du Monde are on the loose in this calendar by Mr. Boddington’s Studio.

Each month in the Etiquette for the Post-Emily World letterpress calendar by Grey Moggie Press features a modern or humorous twist on an old etiquette rule. Clever and helpful!

Ilee’s letterpressed and screenprinted 2012 desk calendar – I look forward to this one each year – is absolutely lovely.

Creative Thursday’s limited edition 2012 calendar features twelve of Marisa’s most popular prints from the past year. The pages in this design are joined together with a silver ring, for easy addition and removal of months, and a colorful ribbon is attached to the ring so you can easily hang it on a wall.

A different (and lovely) illustration is featured in each month of Irena Sophia’s fantastic 2012 wall calendar.

Paper Boat Press’ spiral bound 2012 calendar, designed and illustrated by Kylie Johnson, features a different inspirational quote and drawing each month. The date portion of the calendar can be trimmed, and the drawings and quotes can be framed as wall art.
