Hello again!
You might be wondering: What has Stacey been doing if she hasn’t been writing on her cheese blog?
Well, here’s the answer to your question! I’ve been doing art projects with cheese labels! (OK, I also went to Florida, but that’s not the point)
As a cheese AND design lover, one of my favourite non-eating parts of cheese is the way it is packaged and the often quirky, unique and beautiful labels! There are few products that provide a canvas for such an amazingly broad spectrum of ephemeral design!! At Taste of Cheese, we get in so many cheeses that all come with extra labels, which usually don’t all get used up. So what does that mean? It means I get to start a collection!
When I was in 2nd year university, I had a design professor who had an endless collection of vintage ephemera (def: Things that exist or are expected to be used only for a short period of time). He would bring in his books full of vintage food labels and at the time I thought: “What a weird, generally useless thing to collect!” I will now openly acknowledge that I have become my middle-aged, white haired, bearded, professor.
My name is Stacey, and I am fascinated by cheese labels.
Anyways, with some of the labels that I really quite liked, I made some art! Now it’s on the wall in my office, and it makes me very happy to see my abstract cheese-label art up there! Take a look!
