Oh, no, what´s this, a photograph in lobstersquad? Quick, look away before your eyes burn.
Nah, come on, it´s all right.
Look closely and you´ll see that the labels are illustrated and lettered by yours truly.
You can also see what a lousy photographer I am. If I couldn´t draw, I couldn´t have a blog.
I made these labels for Catín, a friend who has always comissioned all sorts of things from me over the years. She has watercolours, prints, ceramic tiles, handmade books, really, all sorts. Since she´s also an enthusiastic cook and maker of preserves, it soon followed that I was requested to make some labels.
The great thing is, on top of my cash payment, I received a box of goodies, namely what you see: a jar of bonito in olive oil, another of plum jam, and the most ambrosial thing I´ve ever had in my life, quince jelly.
Aren´t you jealous?

You have friends who share thier quince jelly with you!
You have a wonderful blog!
I am *so* jealous!
Yes, indeed, I'm jealous of your ability to draw and capture the spirit of food, and of the wonderful gift of Catin's preserves!
Absolutely. Also of Catín because Catín has those cool labels you made.
At first I thought I was on the wrong blog, then I saw the labels and all was right with the world. Yummy sounding food!
Oh yessssssssssss.... VERY!
Without a doubt!
So jealous. Good friends who cook can't be beat. Plus, I love manchego with membrillo.
Not as jealous as proud, of catin and of you. I love them.
"ambrosial" - fab word!
You have mail.

I love you labels! I wish I could only draw as well as you, so don't fret about your photographs. They actually look good in comparison to my drawing.
Super cool labels and a super cool friend! Those are perfect.
