this garland is made of thank you notes, still in production... i have several more garlands strung between doorways. suzy and i have begun making her wedding invites, and all the goodies that go with them. we have drunk two bottles of wine and had thai food the first night, boca burgers and margaritas the second. we are not done, and have had only two misprints and one broken glass so far... damn fine record i think.
she bought the paper from paper source and we are using inks and supplies from think ink... the gal that owns the business is local and super great and real nice too. i would like to think that i will be doing more gocco, and therefore more business with her... you should too. both.
this here is what the rest of the living area looks like... a nesting ground for printed pieces of white paper. that little gocco'd bird in the back? it is a piece by evan b harris, something i bought almost as soon as i began blogging, could have been before, can't quite remember. but i have to say, that one day i hope to produce a gocco'd something as great as that... i mean, besides the art itself? what in the world could be better than a gocco'd bird, in a dress? sewing??? nothing, that's what.
A bird, in a dress, sewing. Sigh.
Not sure of the punctuation on that one, hope it's ok for you.

This is something I know nothing about! Everything looks good; guess a glass or two only adds to the creativity factor around there.

They look festive strung all over that way, like giant snow and prayer flags. Gocco is too expensive for me, so I am stuck with cut-and-paste and the wonders of Xerox. But one day, my friend, one day....
