More family collaboration

My oldest son continues with his homebrewing hobby and this post contains the latest beer labels that we collaborated on. He gets pretty creative in brewing his batches of beer from scratch - and he comes up with interesting names for them. Working on the labels has been an interesting adventure for us in collaboration over the internet - he sends me the info, I make up a label and send him the jpeg. He prints them out and applies them to his bottles. Of course.... it would be even better if we were under the same roof and could taste his creations together!!

A collaboration like this makes the art all the richer, doesn't it? My daughter works with me on web site design, and with my editing. Art makes a great connection.

I think that's such a cool shared project for you two. Do you ever get to taste the beers?

I recognize the first painting from Laure's beach class! Yours is MUCH better than mine...

These are great! I always wanted to be on a wine label. I love the names and the little paintings!

This sounds like a fun project.

Thank you for your encouraging comment over at my place, Claire. I will give watercolors a try, though I am not an artist. You have quite a flair for combining images and text. I like your style.

Hi Claire... this is great!!! LOVE these labels you created. Tell your son he's lucky to have access to such wonderful art! My son is also a home beer brewer. So far he hasn't labeled any of his beer.

Nice work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the blue Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
