5 out of 5 starsThese calendars always celebrate the goodness of creativity. Their colorful designs share something new with the eye every day in a fascinating and interesting way, which seems to inspire each year that i've had one. Definitely an annual and monthly treasure.
Thank You for making these each year. They are loved *^_^* -

5 out of 5 starsI gifted this calendar to my colleague and she loved its packaging. The gift note was handwritten on a tag and attached to the calendar. It made the perfect gift!
At first, the calendar didn't arrive due to reasons that were out of the seller's control. Although the shop was on a break, she quickly responded to my messages and kindly reshipped the item with tracking in early January. I was very happy with my experience with the seller and I highly recommend this shop to others. -

5 out of 5 starsThe quality and artwork are beautiful and I love the color of the paper with the art - just slightly gray.

5 out of 5 starsNice quality paper, no issues with bleeding or show-through using a felt-tip pen. Arrived in good time. Really lovely pattern that was very well-received by the recipient.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second year buying this diary from prismofstarlings (last year I had the fox design); I loved it so much I had to buy it again. The ring binding makes it particularly practical to fold it over and keep it open wherever you want, for great ease of writing. The art is beautiful as always.

Handmade Cards
A trove of creatures, colours and folk tales, on paper, cotton and wood.
Prism of Starlings is a stationery brand which was established in 2011 by artist Kirsty Jane Baynham, after graduating from Edinburgh College of Art with a 1st Class degree in Illustration.
The brand is stylistically defined by a combination of two main elements – ‘prism’, which represents geometry, symmetry and the patternmaking process, and ‘starlings’, representing the strong animal theme to my designs and their importance to me both as an artist and as an individual.
Favouring the personal quality of making and creating by hand, my studio workshop is filled with drawing and painting media, colourful papers, tools, instruments and machinery all involved in the artisanal process of creating affordable pieces of art translated onto paper goods and small products.
My favourite things to illustrate are foxes, peacocks, deer and hares, woodland forests and starry skies. Since I was a young child, I enjoyed the tactile and poetic process of crafting things from paper, like little houses, sailboats and books. My artwork is created for adults, but there is an element of nostalgia in creating something that has a cross-generational appeal.
Prism of Starlings is aimed at the socially conscious, animal-loving shopper who wishes to purchase something unique, with a story, which has been created with a certain amount of passion and patience. I’d like to think there’s an inherently mutual bond between those of us who take pleasure in glimpsing an urban fox, petting a stranger’s dog or feeding the birds in our garden.
I am grateful for this time period, where environmental consciousness is no longer a luxury but an affordable and attainable reality. Recycled, compostable and recyclable materials are readily available to me, and I take full advantage of this, with the majority of the papers I source having 100% recycled content. Online orders are wrapped in recycled tissue, and shipped in cardboard packaging sealed with paper tape, all of which can be fully recycled (or reused).
