Risograph

Someone recently mentioned risograph printing to me, and I'm embarrassed to admit that I actually wasn't entirely sure how the process worked until I came home and googled it....it looks really exciting and now I'm really keen to find my nearest printer and have a go myself....

Here is an excellent tutorial about how to prepare your artwork...

Cake Toppers...

Sorry for the lack of blog posts. My sister is getting married in 4 weeks and I am getting married in 12, so we have been immersed in Weddings!

I found these brilliant wooden cake toppers from Goose Grease http://www.etsy.com/shop/goosegrease They arrive blank and then you can paint them in the exact outfits that you will be wearing on the day...
