I designed this desktop calendar for a mail out package that Camel sent out to their list of customers across the USA. The target market is 2.5-3 million customers. The design was inspired by how I dress my jewelry boxes.
I always put black lace over the cotton and I include a pearl and a feather within the box. All the chains are the actual chains I use in my work. Note how I included the full moon on each month.
