New cards and calendars galore

Happy October! This harvest season I’m excited to share a release of ten new card designs for birthdays, condolences, holidays and more. You can browse all 70-plus single cards, as well as boxed notecard sets, in the card section.

I am also now shipping my 2025 mini-calendar of art and haiku. The Eureka Times-Standard just ran this fun feature called A calendar tradition on the origins of my haiku calendar, going back to a childhood art project with my two sisters. (Journalist Heather Shelton was inspired by my last blog post/e-newsletter about this history.)

Introducing my new cards and calendars!

I’m happy to share that my 2023 mini-calendars of art and haiku are now available! This is the tenth year I have created a calendar, and I think it’s my favorite yet.

I also have eight new and two updated card designs, for birthdays, holidays and more, as shown below. You can browse all 78 of my current designs on the Makino Studios website.

I’ll have all that and more at the North Country Fair on the Arcata Plaza this coming weekend, Sept. 17-18, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Look for the Makino Studios booth in front of Moore’s Sleep World on G Street. Hope to see you there!

Also, many thanks to all who came to the opening of my show of Asian-inspired collages! It continues at Just My Type in Eureka, CA through the end of September. Here’s a 30-second video tour.

The Eureka Times-Standard ran a nice story about my work and the show called Torn Together: Annette Makino debuts new mixed media collages.
