Another Busy Day At The Cats Meow

[Waldo]

Botled 3 batches of my winesthis morning
My Green Apple Geurtz, My Strawberry Zin and My Chocolate Rasberry Port ( Not From Kit) I had to make a run to Fermentables late yesterday evening to get me a new auto siphon as I had started to bottl yesterday evening and my auto siphon refued to work. While there, I saw these and decided to get a bag and try them out

Here are the wines and some pictures of the labels i made for them

Oh yes, The Zorks.....They were pretty tough to push in and doubt I would use them again. May be ok perhaps for screw cap bottles.

Waldo, are those labels misspelled on purpose or was it a byproduct of your own liquid gold? Rasp</font>berry, Gewurztr</font>aminer How do you apply those Zork tops Waldo, Is there a press your supposed to use or just whack a mole?

If I spelled them correctly wadepeople might start getting the idea this ole Hillbilly is about half smart

Thanks Ramona

Waldo they have a special fitting for a beer capper that makes installation of Zorks a breeze. It is just a little metal piece that goes on the capper. Guys that have got them say they would also be easy to make.

Very Nice Wade! I was looking at a Zork cork add on the web last week. They looked interesting and ooo aaaah but Ialready got a gilda hand corker and I intend to get my use out of it

. Wine equipment is just so tempting to buy even when your not gonna use it much lol. At any rate great job on those lables!!

 

[NorthernWinos]

<DIV id=ms__id37>
<DIV id=ms__id38> I have been working on a few labels my self for when I bottle my Lilac. What program did you use to make the labels? Thats a pretty good job you have done and I also like the girl picking strawberry's. I like the old Victorian art style. Kind of comforting andhonest artistry. Iuse a programCalled " Paint.net" Its a free were one thats pretty nice and has a wide range of editing options. There is also a office package from "open office" Its has spread sheets, power point, and all that good stuff. You can convert and use allot of formats like Microsoft to mac exedera with this program.

That last one is for giving to folks that have had a few too many. I can't make out what it says. It is blurred in photobucket.

 

[Aaronh]

I put an effect called motion blur on it to give it the effect that you have had to many.
