three trees make a forest/ 森

This weekend I made some new Gocco prints.

這個週末在玩Gocco印刷。

I designed the original on Illustrator, then made a master from it.

我先在Illustrator 設計黑白原稿，然後用來製網。

At the first time it wasn't very successful because the strokes were too thin, so the color was smugged on the print-outs. I went back to Illustrator to change the size of stroke to 2pt, then it worked out beaufully.

第一次製網不是很成功，因為原稿的線條太細了，印刷時油墨糊在一起，把線條都蓋住了。我又回去Illustrator把線條的粗細改成2pt，這回印出來的效果就很好。

I mixed colors myself, also added up new inks during the printing process, so the colors are different on each print.

我自己調油墨的顏色，並且在印刷時隨時加入新顏色，因此每一張印出來的顏色都不盡相同。

My bedroom is also my studio. There're not enough space for a crafter like me, so all my prints were lying on my bed waiting to dry.

我的臥室同時兼任工作室，對於愛做手工藝的我來說，實在需要更大的空間。很無奈地，所有印刷出來的卡片，都霸佔了我的床，等著油墨風乾。

After some trimming and folding process, they will be ready soon for sale on my Etsy shop.

等油墨乾了以後，這些卡片還需要經過裁切和折疊，也許過一兩天，我就會把它們放在我的網路商店裡讓大家購買。

By the way, I finally got my dream-paper trimmer last week. I had 40% off coupon for Michaels. This rotary paper trimmer is so nice and handy, which is made by 'making memories'. It has self-sharpening blade so I never have to change new blades.

順帶一提，上星期我終於買到夢寐以求的裁紙器，因為剛好拿到Michaels的六折折價券。這裁紙器的好處是不用換刀片，而且裁切的尺寸精準，有了這台巨無霸，不管是做學校的作業或是其他的手工藝，都方便許多。
