A little Easter Gocco

Someone has been having fun with the Gocco. A little picture with the Easter Mummy Bunny hopping into town! It's so cute

I made them into little notebooks by sewing some sheets of white paper inside and they will be delivered to the class friends today, last day of school term before Easter.

Hope you all have a lovely break and the Easter Mummy Bunny visits you too!

Remember your first sale...

Beccy Bear from BonTonsKids Etsy shop sold last week. It was their first sale and there was happy dancing, and cheering for those involved.

The parcel was sent yesterday to the other side of Australia, to a very much admired artist.

Remember your first sale and how excited you were?

Gocco Love

I decided to buy a Gocco machine after watching a youtube from the Etsy Labs. It looked fun and great for the kids to use.

After some research I discovered that the Riso Company has since ceased making Gocco machines and supplies and it has become more expensive to buy Gocco machines and source the supplies to use them.

Some hesitation set in and decided against the idea. Then I was searching radomly and found one (it was meant to be!) with inks, screens and bulbs to allow us to start straight away.

Now the kids love to Gocco, the process is so easy. Check out BonTonKids.etsy.com as they have so much fun using the Gocco and they insist on sharing their craft with the world, why not they're pretty good little artists.

When supplies are depleated or so expensive that I can't afford it anymore, then they will just have to remember the good old days when they had this really cool screenprinting machine from Japan to use.
