You are absolutely incredible!

I love the light casted down on the watermelon slice, Offers that bit of class yet keeping it whimsical with the lettering very nice, I love it!

 

[Joanie]

Now I'm trying to figure out how to add tiny bubbles to it!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to add tiny bubbles to it!

That would be AWESOME!!!

I'm thinking a glass of my buttery chard might put me in the mood!

 

[jobe05]

My God Man.............. How do you know!? My wife and I are deciding what wine to take to the Hot Tub, I picked my last bottle of buttery Chard from 2 years ago............... How funny is that....

I also have one thats has cleared and is ready to be bottled, I need to get that done this weekend.

I'm gonna take a few days off so I can get some of my wine stuff done. I have:

5 gallons Chard to bottle
5 gallons of Piesporter to bottle
3 gallons Water melon Merlot to bottle

Chocolate orange Port to start
Old vines Zin to start
CC Amarone to start
Muscadine to start
Blueberry to start
Pumkin to start

Then I need to get my garden in order.

I have my tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, artichokes and a few other things started in my greenhouse shelfs.

I have 5 currant plants that I have to make a bed for and transplant out of my garden.

But right now I have a bottle of wine and a beautiful lady (in a skimpy bathing suit) waiting for me............ BYE BYE.........

Jobe, how's this?

 

[hannabarn]

I don't know how you do that but it is awesome!!

 

[Joanie]

Thank you!

Well...I started with an AllPosters.com slice of watermelon. As soon as I found it, I knew how I wanted the label to look. I loved the black background! It makes it elegant! Then it was a matter of opening it up in Photoshop and adding a bit more black for the background and the text layers. The bubbles took a bit of work (I couldn't get them small enough!!) but once I got a group of them on a layer, I duplicated the layer about 5 times, arranged them how I liked and... Wha-la!

That is a very very nice label. I don't think the bubbles do it much good. The rest of the label looks so clean and simple. The bubbles don't match IMHO. But it is a VERY nice label.

 

[Joanie]

I don't know anything about

Piesporter or if that's even the way to spell it! I just didn't have any sort of feeling about it. I looked it up and found out they grow a lot of the grapes in the Mosel region of Germany so went looking for a photo of your vinyard, Jobe.

To be honest, this label underwhelms me!

 

[jobe05]

Sorry Joan, I hadn't had much time the past couple of days.

I like the Piesporter label. I have several German landscapes that I have tried to make labels out of but could never figure out a way to get the words on the label so they can be read. I like the idea of the oval, opaque background to put the words on. I like the sparkling watermelon aslo, keeping the two watermelons similar I think is a good idea, and will look good on the rack. I don't think the label has to say "Bubbly" as much as the bottle shape will.

Good job on all 3 labels,

thank you
