I have been having a grand time making beaded tags/identifiers/ jewellery for cell phones. Took them to work, showed them how they work, listened to all the stories about grabbing the wrong phone by mistake and what great stocking fillers they made and sold several.
So, took them to an informal family dinner last night and no one could guess their purpose. We had a hilarious time with guesses ranging from wine glass charms, to belly button dangles.to earrings ( one relation looped two over her ears and paraded around) Key ring jewellery or zip pulls were mentioned but no one guessed cell phone cords. We put one on a cell phone and then they all wanted one. My niece thought I was the coolest, up to date Aunt!! I would not have known about then if my daughter had not bought one in Japan.
Guess the moral of the story is sometimes we have to demonstrate how a product is used.
Cheers, Jan
