a calendar combined with a notepad and a pen...this sounds pretty much practical.
...indeed it is practical...but it can be also cool and stylish.
i wanted to make a calendar out of metal, not really knowing which metal to choose, before i made my way to the hardware store.
once there, the decision was quickly made...brass...it does look quite posh and not too tacky...and everything i needed was available in brass.
...i always wanted to do something with paperrolls...and they are just perfect for calendars and of course for notepads...they came in a pack of five, so there will be some more to come...and i bought a huge one too, which will be the base for my next project.
making a calendar yourself does take some time, but those calendars are very personal, so beautiful and absolutely worth the it.
