Results

Okay here is the picture of my new gocco printer--I love it so much!!!

Here are the results of my first attempt. It was fun, but the cleanup was a little messy.




The pictures aren't that clear and I'm not sure if it's me or the camera (maybe it's a little of both). The cards look really good in person, but I haven't decided what to do with them. Oh, I can put them in small bundles and give them as gifts. I already have ideas for my next project.

I Got a Gocco Printer!

Last Friday was a long day for me. I worked all day at my store and it was very slow. We have been open for a little over 2 yrs. and Friday was our worst sales day EVER! It was so sad.
When I got home I went to the front door (I was expecting a package to arrive on Monday) in hope that my package would come early. Low and behold, my package arrived! How exciting! Now I didn't have to go through the weekend longing for my new toy-the PG5 Gocco Printer. I'll post a picture later. I'm so in love.
I've been wanting to learn how to do screen printing for awhile and somehow stumbled upon the Gocco in my research. I wanted one, but I didn't want to spend the money for it and then when I finally caved and decided to buy one, I couldn't find one. The company Riso that makes them decided to no longer make the Gocco.
In June we went on vacation to Portland (beautiful place) and I looked for one, but could not find one and tried to find one locally here in Las Vegas without success. You can find some new and used machines on Ebay, but it is really hard to win. I finally found someone that had a few in stock in California. Hip Hip Hooray--I got my gocco--! I made my first screen and prints Sunday night so I will post about that experience later. All is well now.
