This week there seemed to be a lot of really good how-to’s that I came across. The exciting thing? Many of these how-to’s were things I had been wishing for, but not necessarily looking for. Joy!
How To’s
- Making a Repeat-able Pattern with Julia Rothman
Rothman’s guest post on Design*Sponge walks you through how to create your own repeat-able patterns by hand. I’ve always wondered how they do that! (thanks to CelestinaCarmen) - Creating Your Own FlipBooks - Since I’ve been in an animation kick, I was excited to see 2 links on this topic that I can’t wait to try:
Photojojo’s How-To and The Curious Blog’s How-To - Print Gocco Instructional from etsy
My new printer (which I haven’t had a chance to post about yet) is waiting patiently in my studio while I’ve been researching tips on how to best use it. I’ve found a lot of great information out there: my favorite tip of which has been Celestina’s technique to waterproof the frame: thanks! I’ll be posting more about gocco once I have the chance to break it out of the box.
