Well, as promised I am sharing the mess i just got into with my new Print Gocco. This is so much fun! Very different from my usual ventures with the sewing machine. But I managed to sneak in some fiber to my gocco projects...
First, I made these quilted postcards. 
I think "scrappy fabric" is getting to be a signature with me. These scraps are from bits and pieces of the vintage fabric I offer in the shop. These are fully mailable, just as they are, with a letter-rate stamp. The gocco-ed part is on the back. The postcards I made last year were just written in with a pen. I think these look more professional:
These were my first gocco project, so I started really simple. And I saved the screen so I'll be able to make more.
The second and third run are actually on paper. Well, mostly. I drew these with the carbon pen that comes with the set. I wanted to use fabric with these, too so I cut out a little triangle of fabric for the bigger areas. I had to guess where to apply them to each card, since I wanted the screen print to be on top of the fabric.
I really like these guys. The jumping girl is funny. At first I was frustrated that the fabric wasn't lining up just right, but as I printed more, it kinda just worked and added to the screen-printing effect.
I'll be adding a few of these to the shop today. Along with these:
More woolly friends! I'm going on a little road trip with the family tomorrow, but I'm going to leave the shop open while I'm gone. Just remember that the shipping will be a little delayed. See the shop announcement for more details...
Have a great Wednesday! Next time, I'll actually show a tutorial on the gocco for those who have never seen it. And coming soon: my adventure with this book! I can not sing the the praises of Wendy Mullin enough!

Love the Gocco!! The postcard is gorgeous and the little cards are too cute...I totally agree with you about the fabric not lining up, it makes them look that much more fabulous!
