New Gocco Project

There is a new product in the works at Mann Creative Studios for Audzipan Design. We are hoping to have it done in the next week or so, but here is a little spoiler. . . (sorry, no pics yet). Audrey designed three new Gocco designs, depicting a fern, basil leaves, and poppy flowers. They have been printed on tea-stained muslin and are ready to be nailed to wood blocks. The blocks still need to be cut, sanded, and stained. They will be listed on Etsy as soon as they are done!

first gocco prints!!

i did my first experiment with my new riso gocco printer last week! it was really fun, but a lot of clean up work. the gocco creates b-e-a-utiful prints though.

the overprinted ones on the bottom row were originally printed in brown with my first attempt. the master i used to create the first screen wasn't completely black and white, so the print wasn't clean. the image was also too large to expose on the entire screen, even though it was smaller than the screen. anyway, so i shrunk the image and tried the whole screen making process again and printed again in black instead of brown, and it worked soooo much better. it was lots of fun, and i can't wait to do more soon.
