Item #SA554:
Angel and Dragon Table Calendar

Standing 6 1/2" tall and 4 1/2" wide this clever statue serves a double purpose; as an adorable table calendar and as a lovely desk decoration in its own right. Crafted to resemble a beautiful angel kneeling upon an altar-top, the calendar itself is composed of two interchangeable blocks marked with the month and date, and formed into the likeness of twin stone tablets that settle within interior of the altar. Decorated with the crests of two crimson dragons upon each flank, the angel herself clutches a staff topped with a crystal ball, and a tattered green gown above swirling crimson tattoos and out-swept black wings. This whole piece is formed out of durable hand-painted cold cast resin.

Item #B11CELW: Wall Calendar
2011 Celtic Mandala

The Celtics perceived the presence of divine forces in all aspects of nature. Patterns of harmony and balance, dark and light, winter and summer, female and male, are woven throughout Celtic tradition. Celtic knots and patterning reflect their belief in continuity of life, the interconnection of all things, plants, animals and otherworldly divinities.

The Celtic Mandala 2011 wall calendar presents the magical weavings of Welsh artist Jen Delyth in calendar form. Jen`s work is founded in her deep connection to her Celtic heritage. She creates intricate paintings and illustrations, using traditional egg tempera and contemporary digital techniques. Her original iconographic style is inspired by the Spirit in Nature, expressing our mythic connection to the natural world. This calendar is made of 100% recycled paper.

Item #B11DARW: Wall Calendar
2011 Darkside Zodiac

Are Gemini exuberantly charming or roguish sociopaths? Why does Virgo rate an A+ on the Bitch Rating Scale while Sagittarius only gets a D-? What happens when the immovable Taurean hooks up with the slippery Pisces? And although Librans will gladly indulge in every Deadly Sin, which of the seven (greed, wrath, sloth, pride, lust, envy, or glutton) is their definite favorite?

In the Darkside Zodiac 2011 Wall Calendar, there are no jolly Brightside platitudes, because there is enough of that kind of thing in the world, and every silver lining must have its cloud. On the Darkside, Scropios are sex-mad control freaks, Capricorns are bean-counting misanthropes, Aries are head-banging psychos, and Aquarians can`t wait to be beamed back to the mothership.

Author Stella Hyde`s expose of the less-nice aspects of astrological destiny is paired with the playfully mischievous art of Lisa Weber. Hyde (Darkside Zodiac, Red Wheel/Weister, 2004) has always felt that zodiac groupies get off too lightly and encourages us to confront our own evil twin. This calendar is made of 100% recycled paper.

Item #B11GARW: Wall Calendar
2011 Gardens of the Spirit

Strongly influenced by Shinto and Buddhism, the Japanese style of landscaping is particularly conductive to restoring an inner calm. Requiring an artful blend of imagination, skill and patience, the Japanese garden is an extension of the self. By adapting the harmonies of natural design to our own landscape, we heighten our understanding of the world around us and within us.

The Gardens of the Spirit 2011 wall calendar features twelve exquisite images from garden photographer Charles Mann. Paired with Maggie Oster`s contemplative text, this collection of images brings the experience of Japanese gardening to all who long to create a peaceful Oasis in the midst of a challenging world. This calendar is made of 100% recycled paper.
