Specialty Item

After thinking about my specialty item, and going over what felt like 5 million ideas that just didn't fit, I talked to Stan and after some brainstorming I have decided to do incense! Rockstar Gold is very much catered to the older hippie type (with Paul Cornwell being a major leader in cannabis reform here in Atlanta) and definitely has a very underground raw feel to it. It is a very chilled out place, almost like an alternative antique shop or a messy dark boutique, and I feel like this is the perfect item for the shop.

Tonight I looked up lots of templated for some boxes, and I think I'm going to go with a matchbox style container. It's going to be a bit longer (like 4.5"), however I think I'm going to use mini incense sticks (which are around 4"). I want a divider in the box as well - with the incense on one side and some matches on the other, and the match strike thing on one of the side panels.
Here is a quick mock up I made tonight and just drew some illustration with pen (amazing pictures by photobooth):



but i'm really excited about this idea, and i think it is going to be fun to make.
