my christmas cards

i finally* finished my christmas cards. i always hand make them and it's fun to see how they evolve each year. this year i cracked open the print gocco i bought last year after i took my gocco workshop and began the process. now i want to gocco everyday. help save gocco! * each card is hand-cut, filed and screenprinted individually from a huge piece of chip board. (took a crazy long time). he!

very lovely! i'm so ready to give up my gocco since i just found a speedball screenprinting kit at a garage sale. But there is something so foolproof about gocco that it's hard to give up!
