2010 Calendars...It's not too late!
Don’t have a 2010 calendar yet?
Here is your chance for some interesting alternatives for counting the days and months of 2010…
MOON CALENDAR by Jeremy Rendina, hand silk screened, $16
This calendar gives the lunar phase for each day of the month and is based on the time interval from one new moon to the next.
Colors available: cobalt blue, cerrulean blue (pictured above), aqua, olive, metallic blue
You can re-use this calendar in the years noted. Introduced in 1582, by Pope Gregory XIII, the Gregorian calendar was made to give a close approximation to the tropical year (the amount of time it takes the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun).
Packaged with two white nails for easy wall installation.
For more information or to make a purchase, please email: info@ikoikospace.com or
call: 323.719.1079.
