Staff Holiday Favorite

Nikki McClure's Endeavour 2011 Wall Calendar: Twelve Unique Papercuts

Today's holiday favorite comes from Molly Breitmün, massage therapist.
"Nikki's art celebrates the simple and precious joys of life. The great thing about her gorgeous calendars are, once they have been used, you can frame the months as wall art so they get used again (and the paper was already recycled once before that!). Nikki is a local artist and donates her talent to great causes around Olympia and beyond. I like supporting her while gifting her calendars to my family and friends."
Nikki's calendars have become a staple in kitchens, offices and schools.  Each image is an original papercut, cut from a single piece of paper.  They are printed on acid-free paper using soy ink.

Nikki features strong images of everyday life, each with a powerful verb that inspires to action.  This year's verbs and phrases: Behold, Make Eye Contact, Expect, Endeavour, Praise, Ready, Choose, Source, Shelter, Accept, Exercise, Give.
