Right – So I’ve added some wine to the glass. And also inside the bottles. But they went a lot darker than expected when I put the wine inside. It doesn’t actually fill the entire of the bottle but it’s still rendered quite dark.

It took a long time to get the wine looking as dark as this. It’s still not right by a long shot. Very very tricky this! I don’t know if it’s my lights stuffing things up, or the layer of “air” that mirrors the wine glass (which is used to get the glass looking more realistic).

The wine also reflects too much and I have NO idea what those itty bitty little squares are that are turning up. The lights again? I could pick at this alllll day couldn’t I!?

But the good bits are: I looooove the look of the stem and the base of the glass. I made the rim a bit thicker too so it looks nicer around that area. The bottles are looking pretty good at the mo too.

What do you think?

I’m off to Tassie this weekend too – Just for the weekend, coming back on Tuesday. Shan’t be doing much – Haven’t had time or money to buy things for the press. Not sure when our next trip will be – will have to think about that when we get back to Melbourne I think it’s Mum and Dad’s turn to come up for Christmas. Teehee
