Very good. That reminds me, I previously made this version for the shaving stick.
And here is another version of the Arko stick label, for those days when you are feeling more anonymous:

One more:
One of my favorite Stirling soaps, and my new favorite label of yours!
(Is the blue background glitter paint?)

I like them !
The glitter-loving Mrs. Wogus wants to hug you right now.

Haha! My wife is also enamored with the glitter.
Please open an etsy shop immediately. Bonus points — I mean, extra charge — for accepting custom requests.

You know, I looked at the Arlington label, and I kinda had a hard time coming up with ideas. Obviously I could do a somewhat faithful replica, just by hand, but the only thing I associate with the name Arlington, no one wants on their soap. What were you thinking?
Arlington, would that scent be a cross between Petrichor and Hallows?
With Stirling, I can usually peel the label off and stick it on another tub. Otherwise, blue or green painter's tape is good enough for me. I have so many soaps, I don't need fancy.
Why is my wife is always asking me that same question? Anyway, regrettably, lack of imagination is one of my paradoxical strengths! Arlington does't seem to lend itself to caricature very easily (I'd pass on the cemetery iconography too). If I were serious (but I'm not) just the name in font would be about all that could be extracted from that label. Perhaps instead of an Etsy store I would be equally pleased to subscribe to a blog portfolio. Just trying to encourage the arts

My wife is the real artist, though she has been pleased (amused) with my efforts. I’ll throw some more stuff up here when I do more.
