Notes from the Studio: Gocco Printed Stationery

Finally. I managed to dust off my beloved gocco machine and started doing screen prints again. And, since I’ve been toying with the concept of “notes” a lot lately, I thought I’d deviate from creating art prints like I did last time, and start making some stationery instead.

So now, I have the purple print on white cardstock and a pink print on heavy coloured paper -

The stationery comes as a set: 1 purple print on cardstock + 1 white blank envelope + 4 pink print on heavy coloured paper, packed like this:

It’s currently available in my (recently revived) Etsy shop - http://ShaiCoggins.Etsy.com/ for just US$3.50/set.

I really like the idea behind these “notes” thing - so, I might explore it a bit more in the future.

Anyway, some uses for the stationery set include (see sample photos of uses): Greeting cards (the white notecard), inserts in art journals, scrapbooking, mini book making, personal note taking. Here are a couple of ways I used them:

And, good news for one 52WoCer! As promised for the (very delayed) Virtual Party #4 - One Set will come as a prize for someone. This prize is actually what has caused the delay for drawing winners from tasks #13 - 17. But yes, we’ll be holding our party soon, now that I have this new gocco print.

Nice! They could be used as gift tags or labels too!

Hi, Em D! They might be a bit big - but if the gifts are a good size, then definitely. Good idea! :-)

ooooh the ideas you give me! I might have to bug you to design me some. Or I might have to get a little print set and do it myself! We had fun doing prints at an art festival in Modesto last year! hmmm…

In any case they are lovely! And quite useful!

Do they come in green print too? :P I love the simple design! Great for formal and informal messages.
