I don't think I really used watercolors after grade school and never really appreciated how beautiful the flowing colors appear on nice watercolor paper. Lucky for me, Mr. CP has a set of nice watercolors and a pad of heavyweight watercolor paper. I've been working with it on and off for a few months now...learning how to do washes and how to control different types of brush strokes and amounts of water. Baby CP also enjoys using the paints, so we often practice together. It's a great Saturday afternoon activity. <br />
<br />
I've added a few watercolor A2 size notecards and smaller gift cards to the shop and I am thinking about adding post cards and larger folding cards sometime in the next couple months.<br />

I drew the elephant with a Riso carbon pen and flashed the screen directly from that image without having to scan it in and print it out on my laser printer. The white Gocco ink showed up nicely on the kraft cardstock and to add some color, I hand painted red and metallic gold watercolor to fill in the hearts....so there you have it...our first mixed media card. <br />

I only had 20 kraft folded cards on hand, so was only able to print a very small batch and they've already out of stock. I am expecting a new shipment of paper today, so please send me a message on etsy if you are interestedbefore February 6. Otherwise, I might wait until next year to print another batch before Valentine's Day. <br />

I designed the shapes and layout on the Silhouette Studio software which came with my Cameo and used the Cameo to cut the stickers out of sicker paper using a method called kisscutting.<br />

It's been a lot of fun. The Christmas trees were very popular at Christmas time and the Pineapple stickers are doing super well on our Etsy shop. I'm always thinking of additional shapes to add, so stay tuned!</div>
<br />
I purchased the Cameo before Halloween and I used it to cut out pumpkin and other fall decorations as well as Christmas decorations for Baby CP's classroom. It's also been great for designing and cutting out stickers shaped like ribbons for the sticker packaging, which you can see in some of the photos above. <br />

First, I started working on my new holiday card offerings and then I attempted to take some photos that would do them some justice! <br />

I also signed up in advance for a pop up show at Rickshaw Bagworks which is taking place this Saturday, November 15. They do the pop ups once a month and I figured it's a show that close to the holidays but not so late that people would have already sent out their holiday cards. I'll be at R<span class="venue-name">ickshaw Bagworks at </span><span class="venue-address">904 22nd St </span><span class="venue-city">San Francisco, CA from 11am-3pm this Saturday, so stop by!</span><br />
<span class="venue-city"></span><br />
I ordered a free<span class="venue-city"> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/reader">Etsy reader</a>, so that I can accept non cash payments at the show. It will also come in handy if I run out of any inventory and need to take orders that I can ship to customers once I've finished printing items just for them. I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm excited!</span><br />

It was super fun and the cards turned out lovely. These cards are only available at the three <a href="http://batterbakery.com/">Battery Bakery locations</a> here in San Francisco.<br />

As part of their order, we also printed our geometric thank you cards in a new colorway - metallic turquoise with navy text. When the cards were completed, I really preferred how the turquoise shimmers compared to the gold used for the original gold/navy colorway, so we now only offer this new colorway in our <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/179989564/geometric-triangle-thank-you-card-gocco?ref=shop_home_active_6">etsy shop</a>. <br />

<br />
As promised, after designing and printing the custom wedding thank you cards, Local Take requested wedding congratulations cards with a similar theme. I ended up with two styles. The first, similar to the thank you cards has a classic western and haberdashery style to it. The second has more of an art deco feel.<br />

I have also been working on a couple summer pineapple designs. I do wish I had gotten them out earlier in the summer, but we've just been so busy. I'm pretty happy with how both of them came out. I really need to figure out how to take better photos, because these aren't really doing these cards justice. <br />

The couple chose cream watercolor card stock and some eco-friendly natural cardstock made from with recycled paper. <br />

Their wedding colors were plum and pumpkin, so we used a dark purple for the haberdashery style font greeting and classy black for the gentlemanly bowties inside. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ834Plj5xxO1nUf-Ott5B2sNzO1xLM1lowViCbvL7ieWrT0AbwPQVQyEUvkIHP8G1j_ILG5b0XeMZIxF50EUh2R4u7iEGJagCcFCXVi60lIOH-shz21T4IE_Q8nqMIQtG7Xo_O5aAVRY/s1600/IMG_0253%255B2%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

I liked the overlapping effect so much I used the idea again to create a cheerful balloon birthday card. I printed them in a bold and cheerful colorway and a light, delicate and airy colorway. Don't you love 'em?<br />

I wanted to pair the bold geometrics with a delicate font. The gold ink was a little harsh on its own, so I toned it down by mixing in some yellow ink.<br />

It turns out that the lighting in my office isn't terrible. Which photo looks better? I like the brown background, but unfortunately the shape of the card looks a little distorted because the card kept trying to open up. <br />
<br />
I made the magnets shown in the top picture (and matching push pins) a while back using Lotta Jansdotter fabric, flat back buttons and a button coverer. That was a fun project.

I figured the Marshmallow fandom would need invitation cards to get everyone together for the premiere night showings. <br />

Part of that process includes deciding how I want to decorate my office. I am told I may or may not have access to an art allowance, but there was a sale on Inaluxe prints through <a href="http://www.easyart.com/art-prints/artists/Inaluxe-17561.html">easyart.com</a> so I jumped on it. I had also searched around Etsy for other unique prints, but with the sale, it didn't make sense to order any alternatives, especially since I've been obsessing over these beautiful colorful prints for a long time! It was really hard to chose, but here is a preview of what I purchased: <br />

I'll have additional time to spend on new designs over the next few weeks (perfect timing for the upcoming holidays) and a trip to NY to see family and friends. Yay!<br />
<br />
Last weekend, I realized that my herringbone thank you cards are just about out of stock. (I only have a couple left.) So, I decided to print a new batch in a fall colorway. I also used the same design in a super small batch of birthday cards.<br />

The screen I had originally used to print the original yellow and turquoise thank you cards seemed to be a little clogged and I was having trouble printing a nice clean print, so I decided to test out my new thermofax with 100 mesh screen. The print came out on linen cardstock nicely!<br />

Next up, I'll be using the thermofax to burn some 70 mesh screen and try my hand at some fabric printing!<br />
<br />
As a side note, I'm still working on figuring out lighting for my photos...I've been trying to photograph all of my cards with the same background so that my shop has a more uniform look, but getting good lighting in our house is a little challenging. I'd like the whites to show up a little brighter. Mr. CP recently built a light box and bought some lamps, so experimenting with that is also a new project out there on the horizon.ChunkyPineapplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18052404260513433652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754024459363938825.post-83346787245765782552013-09-09T13:44:00.000-07:002013-09-09T13:44:55.733-07:00New Cards in the ShopHi there. As usual, long weekends seem to be when I get most of my Chunky Pineapple work done. I spent some time over Labor Day weekend working on some new ideas. A few of the new designs involve burning out blocks of solid screen, which is tricky on the Gocco, and requires ink of just the right consistency. Below are the first two of our new sweet and simple designs.<br />

This is a new feature that I just signed up for a few days ago. The customer asked whether she could buy 5 of the same Thanks So Much card. Of course I was excited to get my first custom order, and responded right away. The customer's response was that she had found my card at Press Works on Paper and wanted more to thank interviewers for their time and looked on the back of the card where our logo and website are located.<br />
<br />
While putting the logo on the back of my cards wasn't the first thing I thought of when designing cards and starting my shop, I did design a logo by the time I designed my second or third card. I later updated my logo after I had Dingbat Press create a logo and business card for the shop. I'm glad to get confirmation that it helps to get my name out there and that people actually do look at the back of my cards to find us.ChunkyPineapplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18052404260513433652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754024459363938825.post-19619460824338760432013-07-18T11:42:00.003-07:002013-07-18T11:42:45.521-07:00Holy Moly - My 3M Thermofax is on it's way!Yes, I love my Gocco, but sometimes I want a more consistent screen burn or yearn for a larger printing area. I have invested in a 3M Thermofax machine and it could be in my hands as soon as tomorrow!!! A Thermofax machine is an old school predecessor to the copy machine. Copy machines were more reliable for making copies, so these machines were cast aside, often stored in closets and storage rooms for years. They are now super popular with tattoo artists for creating stencils and for screen printers which has driven the price up on these vintage machines, but they're built like tanks and should last a long time.<br />

The Thermofax, like the Gocco, burns carbon based images onto mesh screen, but does not use flash bulbs that much be discarded after each flash. The per screen cost should be much lower than that of a Gocco, though eventually the Thermofax's bulb also needs to be replaced. I believe that the image size can be as large as 8x11 or something close to that, so it's about double the size of a Gocco B6 size image which opens the door to a lot of new possibilities - larger format prints and maybe t-shirts or tote bags with larger images. Any water based silkscreening ink, which is cheaper than Gocco inks can be used. Finally, the screens can be cut and mounted onto frames that can be inserted into the Gocco machines or you can use the squeegee method which is sort of leaving the Gocco world behind and entering the more general screenprinting area.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited!! All I need is to find myself a little more time in each day and hopefully I'll be able to come up with new ideas and projects. =)ChunkyPineapplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18052404260513433652noreply@blogger.com0
