This year I've concentrated on product expansion. For years I've screenprinted (specifically Gocco printed) onto notebooks and cards. I thought why not bookcloth?
Step one is burning the screen. I chose a new image for my first experiment in printing cloth, this hedgehog print. Here is the Gocco screen ready to go.
The bound books are too thick to fit into the Gocco press so I print on the cloth and then bind the books after the printing process. You have to leave just the right amount of space to make this work.
Here are some bound examples. If you place the image too far to the right or left it will be off center on the final product. Tricky but the results look great.
The screenprinted journals go nicely with my other printed products rounding out the line.
