    Hi Ladies,

    I know how many of you love the Gocco but since it's getting harder and harder to find supplies for it, I started to look for some sort of replacement. 

    Then I found this: 

    http://www.whatdoyudu.com/default.aspx

    It looks pretty amazing to me.  As far as I know, it does the same thing as the Gocco but can print larger pictures (11'' x 14'').

    Has anyone tried it yet?  I am anxious to get some review about it :)

    I have a Yudu that Mrs. Bee gave me.  It is seriously huge!  It comes in a box that would hold a 30" TV.

    I made shirts for the first time recently and it worked really well.  The 110 mesh screen it comes with isn't fine enough for paper detail like the gocco. They are supposed to be coming out with a 220 mesh screen anytime now.  I think they released it last week based on a big crafting tradeshow last week, but I haven't found it in the stores. 

    I'm working on getting a post up about it soon.  I'm making totes for my bridesmaids and shirts for the bridal part. There was definitely a learning curve, so I have some tips I need to put together.

    In this post are some examples of projects though:

    Great!  Thanks Ducking. 

    I'll look your post up about the tips to use it. 

    It'll be great when they have their 220 mesh.

    I will get it up soon.  I started taking pictures of our first project, but we messed up so many times I just had to stop.  I'm buying canvas totes this week so I can properly document the process for the blog.
