Hello. My name's Liz Plummer and I'm a Textile Artist. I love the texture of fabric. I love dyeing it and painting it and stitching into it. This blog is about the influences on my work, inspiration, my daily life, and the processes of creating. Enjoy!

Step by step video of how to flash a screen and print

Brilliant step by step tutorial on Flickr – click on each of the photos in turn for the description. It uses the Gocco Arts machine which has twice the print area of the PG5 and the others but most of it would still apply for any of the machines.

  • Hi Liz! I’m glad you liked my gocco tutorial. Thanks for asking–that is absolutely no problem. Feel free to post the link on your blog. I also put a more streamlined one on my knitting /craft blog.

    Hi Liz
    Still debating about gocco b6! Sorry for delay here. we are a bit worried about lack of bulbs and stock diminishing rapidly.
    Can you use any other type of bulbs? have been reading blogs and Flickr comments all evening and it looks quite bad for B6.
    Not sure what to do…Will make a decision today and get back to you asap about purchasing on Friday.
    regards and apologies Sue
