Mrs. Caterpillar's Picture
Mrs. Caterpillar, New York/CA Age and Occupation in 06: 28, Corporate Attorney to be Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Musician Engagement Date: March 9, 2006 Wedding Date: September, 2006 Venue: Rooster Point About Me: I don't like Jeff Koons, mushy corn, or the unnecessary diacritical marks the New Yorker adds to words like cooperative. Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.
About Mrs. Caterpillar

I am just a sucker for random projects. Accordingly, I broke my No More DIY rule, and started some water bottle labels. I did them in pink and brown because that was the easiest way to make cheap paper look not so cheap. Ha.

Half the label is a monogram of sorts; the other half is a piece of a love poem from Nizar Qadah. I wanted to give guests something to read, i.e. distract them, while waiting in the blazing sun for the ceremony to start.

Quick question: Where did you get water bottles without pre-existing labels on them already?

Kate — I just peeled the labels off. It didn’t take very long. Then I centered the new label over the glue marks left by the old one. Because I used a card stock, you can’t see anything of the old label at all.

Milka — I put a series of poems on. My favorite, though, is

I do not resemble your other lovers, my lady
should another give you a cloud
I give you rain
Should he give you a lantern, I
will give you the m o o n
Should he give you a branch
I will give you the trees
And if another gives you a ship
I shall give you the journey.

I ran across your posting and fell in love with the water bottle label. Have a couple of questions, Is it possible to use on 8oz bottles? did you use a standardized template? If so, were did you find it? Could you forward me the template that you used I am trying to design labels for my baby shower. Thanks a bunch for your help!

I was wondering if the template was still available. If it is, can you email it to me? I would rather DIM than pay a few hundred dollars for something I’m not completely happy with. Or if there is a website you know of that will let me download a template, that would be just as great. Thanks for you help.
