Kawaii for the World.

My friends and I started making Origami-based jewelry for our marketing class.

Our Label

We had to introduce a new product to the market, even if it was something we didn't invent. We had to make the product, calculate the cost, and put a price to sell it. But we didn't have to sell it.

At the beggining we just wanted to get a good grade, finish with the project and go home. Turns almost every girl in our class wanted to buy something. So it all started as a class project, really. Not we're thinking about opening an Etsy shop, with more stuff other than origami shit.

I decided to name the brand "Kawaii" due to several facts:

I fly like paper, get high like cranes

1. It seems "Kawaii" is the IN japanese word right now.

2. Since Origami is japanese, I thought it would be good to name it after a japanese word.

3. Nobody gave me any ideas for the name

I was in charge of naming the product, making the logo and a promotion, and of course making part of the design.

Diana, my friend's siter, decided to take some samples to her high school. We got another HUGE order, from a bunch of high school girls who simply loved those things. So, my friends and I have been working on that lately. Making Origami for everyone who's able to pay $5 for a necklace, and a little bit less for a pair of earrings or a bracelet.

So I ship worldwide if you're interested. Well, not really. We're currently doing this in a local level, because we need to get organized. I don't want to make a big deal about it, until we get more stuff to sell. But I gotta say this is really helping me because I've gotten this bunch of cool jewelry ideas. Next time I'll take my headbands to another level.

Here's a bigger shot of what Nallely, Selene and I have been doing for the past two weeks [my mom hates me already because her little table is a mess right now]:

Hot Hot Mess...

I think these things would make cool Christmas gifts for my cousins [who never get something from me...]

Oh yeah, Chop Suey [the Cat, also known as Napoleon, Marco Polo, Tom and Gato], wants me to show you he's in the mood for this Christmas season:

"Say FISH!!"

 The cat hates me right now. He let me took that picture because I promised I'd give him a treat. But he betrayed me and made me give him more than one because he wouldn;t letme take it. I hate Chop Suey when he acts like a diva. Finally after a few shots, he stood up and let me take that picture.

I was listening to a song by The Veronicas called Untouched, so... listen to that. I don't know if I talked about that song before. I was thinking about oner songwarlier, but I forgot about it...

Have you noticed most of my songs don't have nothing to do with the posts I write?

Oh yeah the other song I was trying to remember is Top Of The World, by Shonen Knife. Shonen Knife are the first japanese band that are good to my ears. They're from the 80s or 90s, I wouldn't know. But they're pretty cool, and they don't sound like that anime-like J-pop shizz...

So anyway.... feel free to leave comments, questions and such. I have one day off and I'm bored.
