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!
