gotta love Gocco



Tomorrow Hannah, Mark ( her partner), Mum and Dad ( and me) are throwing a party for Harry's being in Australia for the first time, and a party for him to meet our big family.
Since the desert was not so kiddy friendly Mum and I had the idea of making little show bags of treats for the kiddies. I suggested we use paper bags with a gocco print on the front with some sort of Australian animal since the party is being held at Mum and Dad's holiday house in the bush.
We couldn't go past Possum Magic for a Design, and I couldn't go past this echidna.
I have to say I'm a little chuffed at how well it turned out, the print really does justice to the beautiful illustration by Julie Vivas. Gee I love gocco!
the botton pic is the test print of a scrap bit of paper. I think I'm going to keep it and put it on the wall.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Gorgeous, Jess. A gocco is on my list of things I don't need but would dearly love to blow money I don't have on.
