gocco love

I forgot how much I love the print gocco.  A friend, who plans to make her wedding invitations, came over this weekend to see the gocco in action.  In looking for a fun sample to make, I found a long-lost leaf rubbing that I knew immediately would be perfect for a gift I'm working on.  I hadn't ever gocco-ed an image with both intricate and fuzzy detail before.  I quite like the results.  Here's a sneak peak.  

And, I just learned that the Japanese word 'gocco' is a loose translation of make-believe play used to learn common rules and knowledge.  Perfect.

That maple leaf print on the gocco swap is the exact image that I'm looking for my wedding invitations! I don't have a gocco, but I think I might have to get one now. Do you mind sharing how you achieve that?

I love your blog! When will the next swap be? I really would like to get involved in it.
