THE GENESIS OF GENESIS

(Click for enlargement) Now at 2" x 4", the label art was readjusted to work on a standard cut-size available at Office-Deephole. These are a first-run for a first time product- showing this August 3, so there's no time to spare! (Hey,Richard/Liz: I have the label-stock, already, and will have these ready by Fri., if all's good with the designs. You can post a comment directly here, without having to email me). I wrapped a few of these on the Kerr Jars you supplied us with. Fits mighty nice... ignore the white "thingies" on top of the labels. It's just a patch that showed up on the png file I made for this post.

AND ON THE JAR...


A 16 oz. Ball Jar w/ sealing lid. These are more expensive than plain clear jars, but folks know they're "keepers", for reusing, and drinking ice cold sweet-tay. Ball jars are hard to break, and have an old-timey "feel" when held. The embossing is part of that feel...
addendum to above: Looks like Richard's using Kerr Jars, because I have a jar of the spicy here with me, and spicy is not the word. The word is hot. and hot good.. good hot. goooood hot...

RICKY RICARDO WAS A CUBAN, TOO...



(click to enlarge images) A cigar label design for an importer in Texas. It was eventually dumbed-down to a plain-Jane product. Everyone's free to shoot themselves in their own feet.

SAND AND BUTTERCREAM ICING...


Return of the beach-cake. I'm all for realism, but I hope that's graham crackers or something edible. And those look like living Bromeliads or air-ferns. That's so cool! Now, if that was a Padre Island cake, there'd be a dead jellyfish and a syringe on top. Could be a niche market.
