Making Bottled Halloween Monstrosities
# # The Paper - Personally, I think the label should always look old and worn. To get the look I obtained for Test Subject #13 I printed the label on an inkject (whose ink is water-soluble, keep in mind) and liberally coated both sides well with rubber-based contact cement. Then once dry, I glued the label onto the jar with more contact cement, not being particularly neat about it. I find it gives an old-style pasted-on look. Remember that if you print on an inkjet printer the ink will run if exposed to water! Photocopies or laser printed labels will not run.
