Cute Folk Art calendars, datebooks and planners


featured lensSusan Bourdet folk art calendars & planners


Her artwork is consistently popular on calendars and in prints. I’ve gathered her calendars, date books and planners on one lens so you can easily find them.

In contrast to fine art, folk art is associated with ordinary people, with farmers and peasants. It usually gives an idealized view of life and inspires comfort and nostalgia.

Folk Art date books, pocket planners & agenda books


Folk art gets it’s name from being popular among ‘folk’, in other words: ordinary people. No wonder folk art calendars sell so well! I’ve found you some of the prettiest and beautiful folk art planners and date books available for 2011.

North American Songbird water color art calendars and planners

Beautiful pictures and paintings of Canadian and USA songbirds
I love nature photography, but art based on nature is equally enchanting. I do think that's a good word for this lens, because many of the calendars on here turn nature into something romantic, not quite of this world. Colors turn pastel because of the use of watercolors and the bright colors of nature become almost luminous in the hands of these artists.

A biology teacher of mine said once that the only reason we don't think ducks are pretty is because we see them too often. Some of the artists who made these calendars clearly agree. You'll find common birds portrayed as well as rare ones.

India and Hinduism Wall Calendars

India is a country rich in gods, history and culture. The calendars gathered here share only that one common thread: the country of India. I found you a calendar with paintings and textiles from the ancient courts of the country as well as calendars featuring photographs of Indian women, modern popular religious art and posters that were once spread to make Indians into proper citizens.

Susan Winget Primary School Planners 2009-2010

Lang Graphics brings you two date books for primary school. The large academic planner can be used by the teachers and moms as well as the grade 5 or 6 students. It has enough room for homework, schedule and things like that. The pocket planner is great to start teaching smaller children how a calendar works and how to plan.

Pop Art Planners and date books

Most of the calendars I feature on my blog are meant, implicitly or explicitly, for women. These aren’t. Whether it’s Andy Warhol’s date book devoted to cars, or Dale Chihuly abstract work – I don’t think many men will be ashamed to walk around with most of these pop art planners.

Susan Seddon Boulet Fantasy Art Calendars and Planners

Susan Seddon Boulet (1941-1997) was a passionate student of the world religions and mythology. Her art uses the symbols she found all over the world. Pomegranate has come out with several calendars devoted to her spiritual artwork.

Beautiful black weekly planner for women

Black planners look good on men as well as women, but this one is made with a vintage touch that will appeal mostly to girls and women with style. Aside from the beauty of it, it’s also a practical planner with plenty of space for jotting down appointment: whether work or home. The calendar features pages inspired by a vintage ledger, includes a ribbon marker, and has foil stamping on the cover. Throughout the pages, you will find artwork culled and collaged from vintage sources, alongside functional and beautiful layouts.
