Ken, I really like that! Simple Elegance. Very nice organic design aesthetic...very earthy.

Brock Poling has a really incredible label........

Hesh!.......you might be on to something, it might be possible to use boogers like hot hide glue! Just heat a bunch of them up to 140 degrees and slather on the back of a label for a natural source of an adhesive!

You're a Genius. A person of great intelligence, and you show an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially in original and creative label work.

24# Fine Ivory colored parchment. I use 3m spray fixitive to seal and water proof the inkjet work and a pretty thin Muclin glue as the adhesive.
