YAY!!!

Having travelled an extra 4000 miles or so, been delayed months at a time due to lost files and printer miscommunications, and having caused Ellen to lose half of her hair in frustration*:

Ursula's calendars are finally here!!!

There are 105 of them. That's all there will be. Five of them have dinged corners and I will sell in person so they know what they're getting (they will be the last 5 numerically). Ten of them are going to Ursula to sign and sell herself, and all of them will be numbered.

They'll go on sale in about 20 minutes here, I think - you may want to keep your heads up, 'cause I have a sneaking suspicion they'll move pretty darn quickly.

They do not look nearly as bad as I'd feared and dreaded. In fact, I think they look darn good. There are a few things I would definitely do differently, and the vast differences from month to month in the amount of text is a little weird and I had to be creative to smoosh everything in on a couple of pages, and it's not perfect... but they're fun and the colors are good and the paper is nice and the binding is good and the cuts are straight. I consider it a success. My little conclusion thing isn't as stupid as I was sure it would be upon critical re-read.




*To be fair, frustration was only a contributing factor to the hairloss, and most of that was over how much effort it took; the resultant haircut and red dye job have been for the better...

Ah--I'll pop this on my LJ, do you have a little item description of the calenders or anything you want me to use, to save answering the same questions fifty times, or shall I just wing it?

Cover: http://hotlink.ellenmilliongraphics.com/ellen/ursulatease.jpg

You can word it however you like, and if you want to tell them what's in it, the pieces are: Kite Moth, Little Red Riding Wolverine, Aramadillo Stones, Slug Rider, Tea with the Gryphon, Mouse Warrior, Grandma Orc, Walking the Frog, Darwin Snail, Rat-Demon of something, Tribal Wombat and Bog Unicorn. There is a 69% chance I've got those names wrong, since they're off the top of my head. The bonus plate is Fire Mouse. The cover is the Cuttlefish Hat.

Doh! It claimed it didn't post the first time...

Feel free to edit/adjust at will.

The url on the main page is wrong: http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/fantasyart/ursulacalendar.php, it's missing an 's' and directs folks to blank page.

And I don't see any price (except for the shipping price) on the actual reservation page.

Just fixed that, too! :)
