Takara Umeshu Redesign

LOL so I totally failed at the product choices because I didn't see Stan's post until after I bought them :/ At least the Takara Umeshu hadn't been done yet.





Some ideas I had in mind for my sake bottle product redesign:


Japanese calligraphy



For the label that'll be wrapping around the bottle. I haven't done Japanese calligraphy since.. what, elementary school? slfdkajfhjdflandIwasneverreallygoodatitinthefirstplacesldkfjaflk at least I have all the supplies already.

Kinchaku (drawstring bag)



Instead of a box, I'll most likely be using this.. er, making this. Too bad I don't have a sewing machine... so I'm gonna be stabbing myself with a needle for the next few weeks. If this doesn't work out, I'll be using a wooden box that'll have some kind of laser printing on the front.

Ume patterns




Some examples of ume patterns for the kinchaku bag.

What I'll be using to get my ume patterns printed from. Glad that Paige showed me this website a while ago!

Washi

I don't really know where I'm going to get a printable washi from yet, but if I can, I'd like to use this kind of paper for my label. If not, just.. uh, the normal kind of paper, I guess.
