Jack Daniels Wedding Label Engraved and Painted

I received a request to etch Jack Daniels bottles as a bridal party gift for the groomsmen, best man and father of the bride. The groom wasn't sure exactly what he wanted and I immediately envisioned the label being recreated to look like the original Jack Daniels label only with all of the wedding information substituted. He loved the idea. I had to carefully consider how I was going to achieve this since the black and white colors were important for the label recreation. In order to have these 2 colors, there needed to be a separation line of the glass between the 2 colors forcing them not to touch. This separation line was achieved through the artwork that I created in illustrator by outlining the letters with a heavy enough stroke that I wouldn't lose in the sandblasting stage.

After sandblasting the image onto the bottle, I airbrushed the black across the entire image. When that dried, I went back in and hand painted the white letters being careful not to paint pass the glass outline. The tiny letters and intricate details made for a slow hand painting process but the final piece was well worth the time. I can't wait for the bridal party to see their gifts!

Excellent quality workmanship. I am new to the craft, I hope someday I will be able to produce quality art work such as this. Would like to continue dialogue to pick up pointers.

All the best,
Jay
