Mid-Winter Gocco Swap

I had a hard time coming up with ideas for the Mid-Winter Gocco Swap, with the practically balmy weather we've been having in Philly. I was thinking of ice skaters, but was eventually drawn to umbrellas.



One of my favorite fountains in Philly is Logan Circle. Walking past it on my way to work in galoshes, I was inspired to do my print with it in mind. Working on floorplans in AutoCAD all day, I am constantly thinking in plan view, and sometimes my drawings reflect that.



I patched and pieced together my screen to create some quick cards and embellish some envelopes. I hope these bright colors help with the mid-winter blahs!



I did put a quick wash of watercolor on the flat notes only. After creating the actual prints with all the different colors, there was no way I could do that again and make the deadline.



Thanks again, Sarah, for organizing a great gocco swap! It was a great excuse to do something that is slightly scary-- putting your work out there. I'm glad I did it.



I can't wait to see what everyone else created!
