Gocco!

Well I said I would talk about this yesterday, but I was too full of curry. So now I've had a nice sleep and a nice cup of peppermint tea I'm feeling much better, so here goes...

The print gocco arrived! All the way from Japan. It was excruciating because I had it delivered to work, so I had to sit there all day with it right there on my desk, with all its lovely stickers and Japanese writing, just knowing what was inside but having to do my work instead. Aghh! Im sure my work collegues were fed up by the end of the day with me looking at it and patting it and telling them what it was and what I was going to do with it...



Have been looking at these for ages, I did some etching at uni and I've been really missing it, and print making in general. Have been doing some kind of etchings onto acetate and printing those via the means of photocopier and acetone (like the grass on the 5x7 art I sent to Peggy).



But it's not quite the same. So I thought I would treat myself to one of these and see what I can come up with...

Hi! You have a very interesting site here especially the unique books. I was browsing your blog and saw this gocco post. You mentioned that this is from Japan, I'm from Philippines and I was wondering where you bought Gocco because your prints are really good, I love what you did with the trees on the pages of the books. :)
