Whew! It’s been hectic on the Kalender front. Having collected the reprinted Michaelmas edition, now with pale pink cover (the printer had run out of the light purple I’d chosen) and the right size but not quite such nice quality printing – sigh – Trevor and I set to and spent a whole evening rubber-stamping, filling cellophane bags with wheat grains and stapling them onto 180 covers. Yes, well …
The mentors suggested being a little less mysterious and including some information about the project in each issue. I’ve sort of compromised by writing a short introduction to Festial and printing it on a compliment slip to be inserted into each Kalender (another small task x 180!).
So now I’ve posted out the 30-odd press/gallery copies and just need to sort out the other 150 comp. slips so I can shift the rest from the sitting room floor.
At the same time, I’ve started compiling the next Kalender – All Saints and All Souls – and this time, for a change, it’s going to be practically all images with minimal text, which will coincidentally (of course!) be less demanding research-wise.
