    Very well done, I like how this one turned out. Good use of colors and textures. I'm not sure if it's just me, but there seems to be something odd about the labels. Maybe it's because the borders of the label are too close to the edge of the glass. Anyways, they look pretty cool. I particularly like that you can see the thickness of the glass around the spices. Great job.

    Yes, the glass around the edges of the bottles works well. And a good buy these spices. Filled to the very top of the bottle.

    Looks excellent Frances, especially that grainy look to the spices.

    Thank you Paul, Gary and Gray.

    Paul, I think you are right about the labels and I am not quite happy with the symmetry of the bottles so I have overhauled the image I re did the bottles and adjusted the molding of the labels and added a bitmap transparency to the background to help make the bottles stand out and give the image some depth.

    Excellent job Frances, Now all that you need is a spice rack. :-) You do such good work. I like your attention to details.

    Great job Frances, I like the second version the best. Great use of texture and I agree on the way the thickness of the glass bottles look, well done.

    Boy! Am I glad I waited a bit.

    I was going to say that the glass bottles were excellent but the plastic lids ruined the drawing. In my opinion.

    But the second drawing: Now things look just right to me.

    Thank you Paul, Merv and Rik. All of the comments I get really encourage me to keep drawing, and hopefully improving my skills.
