'Bulmer's' cider logo completed



Actual size of the real label ( I plan to cut 'em out and glue 'em back onto their original bottles)
 
 
After far too long languishing unfinished in my studio, it was time to crack on and get this next goldwork illustration completed. My personal life has faced some setbacks and as such, my stitch found itself a little neglected (try having the entire contents of your bag / car stolen and the time you don't spend on the phone to the police is definitely not a mindset I can calmly sit and stitch with.)

However, that episode behind me, a renewed determination to complete this 'alcohol labels' collection has set in. The goldwork 'or nue' technique is definitely my favourite at the moment, and as such, want to use it as much as possible.

Here's the original for those of you who aren't familiar with Bulmer's cider:

 
As for my subtle re-wording, well, I find it mildly amusing. If I can't laugh at it, what can I do?
