100 days

At anniebee‘s suggestion, I taped the Fade to Black photo taken on February 5th to my office window. 100 days later, the feathers are back.

At 134 days, I’m into the second third of taking an instant print photo a day. While 2008 was all about a single film type, I’ve been shooting with a variety of films and cameras in 2010. Film: Polaroid 600, Fade to Black, Polaroid 100 Sepia, Polaroid 100 Blue, Impossible Project PX 100 (First Flush), and Impossible Project PX 600 (First Flush). Cameras: Polaroid SX-70 modified for 600 film (a.k.a. Frankenpolaroid), Polaroid SX-70 (unmodified), Zero Image 4 x 5, Polaroid SLR 680, and a Polaroid Sun600. Onward!

Weekend Project: Gocco gift card

Our poor little Gocco hasn’t seen the light of day since I created our New Year’s cards at the end of 2007. Simon and Tammy ‘s wedding was just the opportunity I needed to get my act together.

As they were getting married at the Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma, I’d hoped to create something around Claude Cormier’s Blue Tree, but I couldn’t quite wrap my head around a way to create a blue on blue image without good source material. (Given the number of cameras at the wedding, I don’t think anyone following in my footsteps will have the same problem.) In the end, I went with “mazel tov” and created a set of matching items. I lifted the pink flower motif from the invitations that Tammy had designed and the gold complemented the overall palette.

Supplies:
- Gocco silk screen press
- RISO Hi-Mesh Gold ink
- RISO Hi-Mesh Process Magenta ink
- Fabriano Medioevalis folder card and envelope
- small standard stationary envelope for gift certificate
- natural cotton mailing bag
- laser print outs of the two screens

Due to bulk ordering, Derek has quite the pile of those natural cotton mailing bags left. I’m thinking of coming up with a few designs to have a supply of gift bags on hand. They make lovely reusable wrapping paper for small objects.
