A couple of years ago I had an order of books shipped directly to Burning Man. I finally tossed the box, but took a picture of the label first.
El presidente de la República, Pedro Castillo, asistió a la celebración eucarística en homenaje a Santa Rosa de Lima, Patrona de la Policía Nacional del Perú.
I was so proud of the previous version that I started showing it to friends and family. All of them liked it, but my aunt Yola said something important: "It's a real pretty calendar, but maybe only for people who like to think--and you know how lazy some of us are."
Those were precisely the words I was trying to avoid. A calendar is a cognitive crutch or it is nothing and I had set out to create a calendar. It had to cater to the lazy! It should encourage laziness at every opportunity, that was its raison d'etre!
So a little demoralized I searched for ways to make the design clearer. I found two important ways. The first and most important one was to narrow the month rows. It greatly reduced the vertical space the eye had to travel and in so doing, greatly reduced column confusion.
The other great aid was labeling the weekday cells, as the next design shows.
On the other hand, the compactness and elegance of this design impressed me a lot and in trying to further them I pursued a different branch of the design, which led me to erase some numbers.
We have been inundated with misleading food labels such as; “lightly sweetened” this and “all natural” that, all of which sound like healthy food choices but are not. Learn how to navigate through these misleading food labels and make better food choices.

Wychbury are 'not that pristine', we can make ruder gestures than Molly Ringwald and don't get on that well with keeping our whites white! Our labels are now getting the tea stained treatment too, the paper texture and cotton thread take on the colour nicely and a quick finish in the oven gives the edges a nice worn look.
Wychbury's brand, created by hand.
OK... I started to take some sip here and there.... guess it's hitting down to bottom.
I still say I like my beer more than this stuff. Anyone care to join in for a drink. LOL
Minor adjustment with curves, color, vibrance, USM and resized for the web.
Strobist Info. One bare Nikon SB-600 on a stand with head pointing upward to bounce the lights from the ceiling. I set the power at 1/8th on a manual setting and triggered it with onboard flash from my Fuji. I had to cover my hand over the onboard flash due to shadows it creates.
Have a great weekend!
Blue is apparently the butterfly of wine label design. These are terrible cell phone pics, but show just a sampling of the abundant wine labels featuring blue in a big way at the moment. Purple is a runner-up, by the way.
I sewed labels on several mini-zip linings.
This is one of my new linens. It's a bit heavier weight with a real earthy color. I thought it would be nice as a lining fabric.

Two Great Western Railway wagon labels, Chipping Sodbury to Ticehurst Road {now Stonegate} dated September and October 1932.
this is the label for our homemade plum jam. we have four plum trees. they are dripping with plums. only the blood plums are totally ripe. we are kind of over eating fresh plums *gasp!* so we made jars and jars of plum jam, plus stewed plums. when it drops a few more, i'm going to make plum chutney. at least all the birds in the yard are also gorging on them so they don't totally go to waste!
Since I started making my own household products, I had to learn to remove labels from recycled containers. Here is what I learned : paper labels are glued onto the containers with either oil or water based glue.
Water based are easy -just soak it in the water and it comes off quite easily -sometimes with some rubbing.
Oil based ones are a bit trickier -you will have to use cloth with some oil on it and rub it for 5 to 10 minutes(better do something fun while doing it -can be boring). Of course, you could soak them in oil, but that requires lots of oil...
The third kind is paint on the container, like a laundry bottles or cleaner bottles is the worst, because you have to either sand it off(I didn't do it, because it can leave small scratches, that would gather dirt) or use nasty thing like acetone. I won't do that type much, but I needed bottles for laundry soap, so I did those.
There is one more kind of labels -they come out very easily just by carefully pealing them off -not sure, if their glue is water or oil based, but I like those the most-so try that first and see -it might just come off without any fuss.
