Melanie Boyle's Clever Lotus calendar and hand made notecards feature graceful and closely observed designs from nature that have the feel of woodblock prints. Her designs, based on the folk art of Chinese paper cuts, include a fruit and vegetable series of foods of Michigan with blueberries, asparagus, morels, rhubarb, pawpaw, cherry and more.

Melanie notes, "While studying traditional landscape painting in China in the early 1990s I discovered the folk art of Chinese paper cuts — red paper silhouettes created during the Lunar New Year celebration to bring fortune and happiness to a home. I have adapted this technique in a way that combines my graphic sensibility, cultural heritage and an appreciation for the beauty of form and pattern in the natural world."

Her calendar "celebrates perennials and trees native to the Great Lakes region. The plants featured in this year’s calendar are: Virgin’s Bower, Eastern Juniper, Wintergreen, Redbud, Northern Maidenhair Fern, Shooting Star, Spiderwort, Splatterdock, Aster, Witch Hazel, Switchgrass, Highbush Cranberry."
