The 2012 label is literally “layered” with meaning – the artwork, titled "Revelers and Troubadors," was created through a complex collaging process by artist Kaycee Anseth Townsend. She uses small scraps of paper to create designs, and she comprised this year’s packaging entirely from pieces of past year's Jubelale labels. You might even recognize a scrap or two from years gone by inside the incredibly intricate final design.
