Monthly Quilt- My Cats

If I had to enshrine anything, it sure is my girls. This is Bastet, Vermithraxis Destroyer of Worlds, and Lillith. I used my Gocco machine to screen the little faces onto my beloved hand dyed fabrics. My girls get only the best! Next time I need to use more contrast on the faces.

The Gocco did not have the sticking problems on the screens like the last time, because I tried the ironing technique mentioned on Flickr.com's Gocco group. I still may stamp their names onto the fabric near their little noggins, but for now, I'm happy with the cute results.

Gocco mania

I love Gocco. I am hooked. Need more supplies... This was my attempt. I did have a problem with my original sticking to the screen, so I have done a little research and found it may be my printer laying on extra carbon. So I have to play with this a bit and see what I can do. I had a fun time flashing this image.

In addition, I need the fabric inks and better quality cotton to screen on, but as a test, this worked out fine. My test image is my website logo.

I found that the hardest part of the process is not being afraid to USE it. I mean, just do it! If you mess up, you can always buy more. And since one of the resolutions this year to "use it up", this should help withthat philosophy. Who wants to die with all this unused stuff?
