projects

elves
holiday cards
I'm all tuckered out (holiday busyness and a bad case of the 24-hour stomach flu will do that!) so I won't write much, but I did want to share some photos of holiday projects... so here's our holiday card and some ornaments we made to give as gifts. By "we" I mean Jeff and I - he drew the elf for the ornament, and I used my gocco to print it onto fabric, which I then cut, sewed, & stuffed. Marvy. They were a big hit.

The cards were a completely joint effort - Jeff drew the elf and the tree, I drew the weird animal dude and the ornaments, Jeff inked the whole thing, and I printed them. I LOVE these cards, I'm thinking of sending them every year. We used the gocco for those, too, and Strathmore Creative Cards (fluorescent white with deckle edge).

I love gocco. Someone please save gocco! We couldn't have done these projects without it, or without a lot more work.

More holiday pics on flickr. Check out my very nifty photo of our Christmas tree lights! That one cracked me up.

I hope you all enjoyed whichever holidays you celebrated this month, if any. And happy new year!

Hi - I am a distant admirer!! I just wanted to come over and congratulate you on your work being on the cover of the new "Craft" magazine! I was so excited when I saw it at Barnes and Noble. Congratulations!

ACK! You've done it again... I swear, I really just want to be you for an afternoon. I'd love to be inside your mind, and see things the way that you do. (then I'd make copious notes, and have my inspiration for the rest of the year!!!!)

Seriously, the ornament and the card both are too fab for words. I do so admire your eye....

Those are gorgeous cards. You both seem very talented...and very original with your gifts.

I love your cards + ornaments, but love the fact that you used your gocco to make them. I adore gocco and use it for just about everything.

Oh, and I was checking out the auction and I made quick note that I loved the robot. I did not know you were his creator. It makes me smile and want it!
