Gocco!!!

Toby gave me a Gocco for Christmas!!! I'm so excited to use it, I've ordered some paints so as soon as they arrive I'll get started. I came across the Gocco for the first time on a blog about a year ago and ever since then I've been pining after one. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Gocco, it's basically a self-contained colour screen-printing system. If you'd like to read about it and see a demonstration click here. As far as I know they aren't manufactured any longer, but you can still get them through places like Etsy and Ebay. I've been fantasising about what I'll print first, so far I'm planning on making small story books about Herbert. I'm going to have to start practising my drawing!

Apart from getting super excited over my Gocco, I've been taking advantage of the cool, overcast weather by going to the movies, playing basketball in the park and generally doing fun relaxing things with friends. I also had a great Christmas, so overall it's been a fantastic week! I managed to fit in a bit of sewing and made my first ever panda brooch.

I hope everyone enjoys the last couple of days of 2009!!
