Well, I have been posting on my other blog, A Planet Named Janet, about my gocco progress.
I did start the gocco alphabet the other day. I had the mock ups ready before this, but sometimes one needs to be motivated. For some reason, I also thought that Amy Winehouse would look good as a gocco print. I guess it is because of the distinctive hairstyle and makeup which is all dark. So instead of setting that idea aside for another time, I decided to go with it -- as I knew it might motivate me to get the others done.
These two are up in my Etsy shop as well as the letter M.
The patterning in the black area appears to be from the printing pad on the gocco machine. I think I will try putting a piece of cardstock on top of it before burning the next screen. The "texture" does add some to the handmade look. So not a loss. BTW, the black area is the gocco print. I did the colored backgrounds in photoshop and printed them first.
