Our first tutorial of the year is demonstrated by Abbey, a fellow Gocco lover. I had a lot of fun with her the day we recorded the tutorial. We started our morning with a meeting for the Artist’s Screenprinting Co-op, then had lunch at one of my fave local eateries, Veggie Heaven. She brought her Gocco over so we could compare, and hers is way better than mine. I must remember to get a Gocco upgrade. This tutorial is the first time I have ever filmed anyone. You will notice that my filming skills need a little work. It’s a good thing I am a quick learner, because the upcoming tutorial with AJ was shot way better. I was fortunate that Abbey was first; her gift for teaching counters my lack of filming skills. When I finished filming her, Josh (aka Robo, aka the PA for the day) told her she should do all the videos. I agreed. Thanks Abbey!

I hope you enjoy the tutorial, and that it inspires you to either purchase a Gocco, or just get reacquainted with yours. Make sure to check out the downloadable PDF so you can make the Valentine card shown in the tutorial.
If you don’t have a Gocco, and won’t purchase one in time for Valentine’s sign up for The Rocker in the box to the right or become a fan on Facebook to get a downloadable Shortcut Sheet of the design, in color for you to print, cut out and give to your friends. We love to give our friends something special for supporting us.
