Calendar girl

I am so fortunate to be able to rent studio space at the Genesee Center for the Arts and Education at their Paper and Book Arts Center. Last year as a fundraiser, all the renters collaborated on a calendar to print and sell. This year, since I am one of those renters, I am able to help with this year's calendar. Sadly, I don't have a month to call my own, but I am designing the back cover which includes all of the artists' names and information about the Center.
For the first part of my layout/design, I used various wood and metal type and set the months of the year. I'm hoping to print this in a pale, transparent yellow. The cover to the calendar is bright green this year and so I don't want my first layer to stand out as much. I will post pictures of my progress as things are printed. Here is my form so far. It took about 3 hours to do and I loved every minute of it.


...and in setting type, you always make sure everything is spelled right before you print and I just noticed that I misspelled "August." If you see any other mistakes; let me know.
