While watching the very exciting US election coverage last night, I finished printing a new, small-scale silkscreen print.

I've been developing some ideas for prints for the last little while, and I finally settled on this.  I'm so happy with the way they turned out!  I wanted to experiment a little bit with my Print GOCCO using multiple colours per screen; (not only because I thought the effect would be nice, but also because of a shortage in GOCCO supplies these days).

Firstly, I applied a screen with white snow and a faint outline of the reindeer; it's difficult to see from this scanned image.  The next two screens were printed with 7 and 3 colours respectively.  It turned out just as I'd hoped!

They're 5" x 7" and printed on a lovely ivory hot press stock.

  2. It's lovely! I love what you did with the different screens. You reminded me I have a Gocco at home, but I haven't used in a very long time...

  3. I love the different layers Melinda! I always admire when silkscreen is made to look like paintings, I think it's amazing!
