Music Hall Gocco Invites
I've just finished printing these bespoke wedding invites for a lovely couple who are getting married in London later this year. The wedding is going to be held in Wilton's Music Hall and the invite features a line drawing of the interior of the venue overprinted with peach and gold fairy lights.
Screen printed using my trusty Gocco (which is unfortunately getting to be a very expensive business these days). I'm really pleased with how they came out (and happily, so is te bride!)

Summer Bunting
Everyone loves summer weddings and everyone loves bunting, of this I am sure.
Here's a sneak peak of a reworking of my bunting design in lovely colour and on
watercolour stock. More pictures to come soon!

So, this is the finished invite based on the Gocco print I did at the Badger Press workshop (see previous post). You can order yours now from here! I'll be happy to customise colours and it is available as a Gocco print, or digital print - the choice is yours.

Gocco Day!
I was very happy to be a part of The Badger Press Gocco day which took place on a very sunny Saturday in June. Myself, Andrew Groves and Simon Dovar were asked to share our Gocco knowledge with a bunch of enthusiastic Gocco first timers.
For those of you who don't know, Gocco is a home screen printing machine that comes from Japan. Back in the eighties, the Japanese used them to make New Year's cards (a very important custom over there) and apparently 1/3 of all families in Japan had one. A few years later when inkjet printers became popular and cheaper, the Gocco was forgotten about and left to gather dust in millions of Japanese homes. However, a few designers and artists got wind of them, and realised the great potential of these little machines and they soon became super popular amongst the design and craft communities. However, due to the lack of popularity in Japan, the company that owns Gocco decided to halt production and in 2008 the last ever shipment of supplies was sent out and all further production stopped. This means that supplies are now pretty expensive and difficult to get hold of, but it is such a fun way to print and with the quality of results and the lack of mess, it's definitely worth it.
I love using the Gocco for wedding invites and tried out a new design on Saturday, here's a little peak...
I will be putting a version of this on my website soon, so if you like it, get in touch and I'd be happy to customise the colours for you!
For more info about Gocco, then have a look at the Save gocco site here, it has lots of info and lovely examples of other artists work.
Also, you can see more pictures from the Badger Press Gocco day here.

Let's go fly a kite!
Just added this design to the Spring collection on my website! Think it would be perfect for a crisp and windy Autumn wedding, don't you?
Order yours here.

Ready to go!
These are my bespoke invites for Matt and Tom, all packed up and ready to go on their journey back to the UK. I bought a little DIY stamp so I can label everything, and am really happy with how it all looks. Really excited to be finishing up the final bits and pieces on my website (hence the blog re-design) and I should be up and running within the week! Will keep you posted...
