So.. this may be a bit on the crazy-involved side. See, when Apollo said “calendar”, I said “Aha! It should be a snap to make a printed one… kind of like that poetry chapbook I did 12 years ago. You don’t forget how to do things like that!”<\/p>\n

I then downloaded the trial for Adobe InDesign (because), and quickly drew Ms. January:<\/p>\n

\"January-Clotho\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plenty of time to get everything together, right? Right!<\/p>\n

Seven days pass. I think to myself, “These pictures don’t take that long. I’ll do six today, five tomorrow, and put everything all together well before the deadline.” I proceed to get Ms. February 80% done before I’m lured onto a pillage:<\/p>\n

\"February-Aphrodite\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next morning started with a lot of muttering along the lines of \u00a0“Why the heck did I not do more earlier? I bet one of those Sirens is really named ‘Procrastination’.”<\/p>\n

Over about eight hours, I finish the rest of the months.<\/p>\n

Mr. March:<\/p>\n

\"March-Hermes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ms. April:\"April-Faeree\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ms. May:\"May-Galene\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. June:\"June-Apollo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. July:\"July-Prometheus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, huh, looks like I did July twice!:\"July-Cattrin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ms. August:\"August-Pixelpixie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. September:\"November-Musicologist\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. October:\"October-Forculus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ms. November:\"September-Imp\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ms. December:\"December-Atropos\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And because a calender needs a cover:<\/p>\n

\"Cover\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then I put it all together with InDesign.. which worked suprisingly well right up until I tried to print it… and found out we were out of red ink. Red? Really? WHY!<\/p>\n

So, rather than proper photos of the printed calender, you get this screenshot of June:<\/p>\n

\"June-full\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and the printable PDF I cobbled together because I couldn’t figure out how to generate it properly from InDesign… with months and everything:\u00a0Puppet Calendar<\/a><\/p>\n

When you print this, make sure to do so double sided. You should be able to then fold it in half, staple, and voila! Calendar. Quality is still a bit iffy, I’m working on that while I re-learn InDesign. (Haven’t mucked around with that program since, in… um.. ten years?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
