caramel (apples)

Robin and I made caramel apples for Halloween while we watched some Office! We then watched Harry Potter while eating our apples and had a wonderful evening! :-) This was the second time this Fall we have made caramel apples, but we are okay with that. They are one of our favorite things. We go all out.

gocco frustrations slash the usual

I hadn't been planning on using the gocco to add color to this print. i was going to either keep it as an outline print, or hand color. I did hand color some to test out color combos and see how it looked. I did like some of the hand colored ones, but I wouldn't sell those ones. And the hand colored ones just didn't have the feel that I wanted, so I decided to use the gocco again to add color to the image. I know I went about the process backwards, because I did the outline first and then added the color blocks, so that makes it more difficult, but they are actually looking fairly nice. The problem is that I only had one set of lamps left, and they WILL NOT F-ING WORK! argh! very frustrating. I have 3 masters left, and I had one all aligned to make a screen for the next colors, but the lamps aren't cooperating. Robin and I looked all over the place online and cannot find lamps and masters for a good price. The seller we purchased from in the past has DOUBLED their prices. It is insane. I need to find gocco accessories at a reasonable price so I can finish this print. I was super stoked about how it was coming along, and then gocco troubles! I'll get it figured out I guess, but this is how it is looking for now!
