PureShot HDR DNG, Affinity, Distressed Fx. In the interest off full disclosure the background picture was made by photographing an old snapshot since it was the only thing I could find that had the right feel. In making the label I had my first chance to try wireless printing from my iPad as well as importing a new font to Affinity.

Great manip. So how did the wireless printing go? My printers are all old without wireless.

Very atmospheric! You can’t leave us hanging, Brian — what is written on the label??

It turned out to be easier than printing to my 17” printer from the desktop, but only because I have several very specific print options on the desktop. I just needed to have the EpsoniPrint app on my iPad. The first time you use it it looks on your network for available printers and they appear on a list. You select your printer, then your job appears and you can select a few options, such as paper size and type and print quality. I wanted my label fairly small, not the full 4x6 photo paper size, so I just pinched the picture smaller on the page (on my iPad) and pressed “print”. I’ve had much more trouble that that getting a desktop printer working. I think for high quality photo printing I would still go through my usual desktop route.

I think you can read it by zooming in. I didn’t want to spoil the effect by making it too obvious. Here’s a view of the image I used to print the label.

I had some fun mixing the potion in the antique bottle. I started with food colouring but it didn’t have enough “body”. I added some antifreeze to give it some more of the poisonous bilious yellow-green colour. The final touch was about 1 teaspoon of milk. It didn’t mix in much but stayed suspended in a cloud about 2/3 towards the top and it had lovely tentacles hanging down below the cloud. Another part was carving the wooden stopper for the bottle. I “aged” the bare wood with markers and dirt. To make the bottle glow I placed it on a sheet of glass with black paper and a hole cut in the black paper for an LED light to light it from below. This was all in honour of Hallowe'en, of course.
