Postcards from the sewing room




On the very off-chance that I venture further than the sewing room for the next five weeks, Mr Gocco and I have have got the postcards totally sorted. I'll be sure to send you one!

beautiful Jodie.

bubbachenille said...

If I was sending a postcard I would want one like this! For sure.. really nice X

kelly said...

These are FANTASTIC!

KateS said...

Oooh very cool ! :) Where did you buy your Gocco from - I've seen something similar in a WA art store but it wass very $$$$$- about $1000 to set up. Does it use film sheets that you expose or do you need to apply something to the screen and then expose it?
I have an old-fashioned silk screen I plan to use (one day) but this looks much more user friendly!

Lissa Jane said...

Oh these are too cool Jodie... I have to do bloomin' siggy squares for our retreat, and had been thinking along these lines (but too lazy to do!)

take care and I might have to send out a search party for my Mr Gocco :O) aren't you glad I told you about Mr Gocco????

oh you clever thing! I'm so embarrassed to say I've used my gocco once! oh dear and I insisted on bringing it home from japan much to my husband's annoyance that it was carry on luggage!

must get it out one of these days

Mookah said...

I have dreamt of my very own Mr Gocco for quite a while now, but if I had one, when am i going to find time to play with it?

Nice postcards...perhaps they could be sent from the sewing room?

LiEr said...

Jodie, happy early new year, first of all (before I forget). You make such beautiful and ingenious things. I wish I commented more but am always reading your blog when the kids are all over me. It is 2 am now and finally some peace and quiet! Thank you for what you make and for sharing it with us so we can all be inspired/lose hope of ever making anything decent forever. No, I jest. I am so glad I found your blog when I did months ago. Those robots! The story! The elephants! But my favorite has to be those craft clocks. Brilliant, funny and slightly twisted - love it all. Thank you!

PottyMouthMama said...

These are so COOL! LOVE!

Tanya said...

oooh, have to love the gocco machine. They are super. Happy holidays

one little acorn said...

Very cool Jodie! So much for having a rest over the holidays! Though I guess this is the perfect time to do lots of creative things... lucky you!

Thimbleanna said...

Wow -- that looks like a super fun project! I hope you've had a grand New Year's Eve -- Happy New Year!!!

Micki said...

That is definitely very neat! Happy New Year!

I love Mr Gocco, a friend has one that I routinely borrow and keep
"serviced"

The postcards look fabulous!

rachelmp said...

They look great Jod. Nice to see that being locked away in your jammies has a good end result .. We have a camcorder here if you ever need a lend. No trouble!

Moogsmum said...

Trying very hard not to be all pouty and jealous. I TOTALLY covet your Gocco!!

Those postcards are utterly fab and I really am not jealous.
