Kate: I've started working on some ideas for wine journals. I love thinking through the endless ways to reflect the rich experience and history of wine through fine art. Wine has so much aesthetic inspiration: Vineyards--each subtly unique vine, leaf, and grape--barrels, bottles, deep reds and golden whites....
Here are a few pictures of what I've come up with thus far. For these three designs I used red and white oak wood, stain and finish, pyrography, gold leaf, and mixed media paper. Each page has room to record the type of wine, the vineyard it came from, the year, and the its overall rating. There are also two sections for detailed notes and the menu the wine was served with.
Christopher and I have recently started using the "Vino" journal.
Enjoy! Feedback welcome.
