Japanese artist, curator and designer, Sakurako Shimizu has developed a line of conceptual jewelry that creates a wearable image out of familiar sounds, such as these pins which illustrate the sounds YAWN, WOW and ACHOO. They are such a charming reminder of how we dismiss the every-day, and how magical it could be if we just looked at it in a different light. A thesis project by jeweler David Bizer has yielded the fruit of an inspirational project in the same vein.
The Sound Advice Project is encouraging kids to avoid drugs by inventing a way for parents to remind their children to make smart choices. Parents are able to choose a short phrase, record it and then customize the bead and cord color on their piece of jewelry to give to their loved one. Of course, there is no reason that this can not be used to remind the recipient of anything simple and true.
