Each face of the dodecahedron represents one month of the year. Each day of the month is represented by a polyhedral module, the layout of the whole being based upon a geodesic configuration. These modules are like stepping stones, such that one can step from one day to the next as upon a flagstone path. From the first of the year, the path of days uncoils outward until it flows into the next month. From every month thereafter until the last, the path spirals inward, then outward, until it flows again into the next face of the figure, and so on. In the last month, the spiral path coils only inward until the very last day of the year.
I invented this calendar and printed it by hand in silkscreen. Each pentagonal face fits within a US letter-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches) sheet of card stock. I'm contemplating making another for some future year.
