Idea Description
Behavioral experts claim it takes 3 weeks to form a new habit. EndSmoke is a carton of anti-smokes you can gift to anyone- including yourself-who needs a cool tool to help them quit smoking. Bright, appealing modern eco-packaging is highly customizable. Select from among thoughtfully designed pre-packs or create your own custom kit filled with cig-sized packs of delightful surprises to explore, each about the size of a smoke. Fact-y or inspirational scrolls or statistics, vitamin powders to drop into water, interesting candies, haiku, mini-toys... Scents, spices... Each pack & anti-smoke is unique & unrepeated in a carton, designed to delight & distract & inspire while breaking the cycle.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Work with a graphics agency to create brand identity & shape packaging, coordinate with website. Brainstorm ideas & products to include in kit, attend premier contemporary expos in food, gift & health industries to spot trending products & new products to pack into the packs. The challenge is finding unique, engaging & interesting products to fill the packs with. As well, these need to be environmentally friendly- fun, & healthy. So the first round of funding is sourcing & design. Next I would strive to get endorsements from nationally recognized health associations & for a product like this, I would really try to get it on some daytime talk shows. Fabulous, fun, caring gift.

- DK Amber Mosaic Series No. 37 amber pendant
- May 5, 11:12pm (1 review) handmade, amber, poland, artisan, wood http://www.amberjewelry.com/DK-Amber-Mos...
- DK Amber Mosaic Series No. 37 - Rich, golden amber in transclucent & opaque shades, swirled & lightly tangled with drifts of milky ambers, cut by hand into highly polished thick, dimensional planes. The lighter color, called "mat" is the hallmark of succinic acid, the signature of Baltic amber. Handmade mosaic created using small squares & rectangles of exotic woods mixed together with windows of amber.

Andzia's Amber is absolutely delighted to present the newest collection from Dorota Kos-- The DK Amber Mosaic Collection.
Kos says, about this special issue collection, "the mosaic I use in the jewelry is hand made, nothing pressed. Maybe it is crazy, but I really put together every small piece-- using glue, polishing again, cutting, assembling, measuring, polishing again... For this collection, I used many really different kinds of wood-- black oak, ebony, plum, cherry, apple tree, birch, walnut & padouk (red). Woods that I found, woods that I kept, woods that were given to me. So the wood is a mosaic in the same way the amber is a mosaic. It is fair to say that I am fascinated by the micro world. I hope you will enjoy that every small piece is unique & that, through my work as an artist, I respect every small piece of the amber & the wood."
The purity & integrity of Dorota's work & her materials, the quizzical combination of precisely organized chaos & her fidelity to process truly sets her work apart among contemporary amber jewelry designers. Amber & wood create small objects that are complete, whole & quite singular in their ability to amaze. Each is like an intense little fruit. Portable art. Lines are clean, even hard, with a modernist edge, yet it is here that the pieces confuse, because they are so very, very warm. Certain edges are left completely raw, like the snaggle tooth of an ancient cat.
This is inventive amber jewelry that pleases eye, spirit & hand. Yet is is somehow elusive, even sitting in the palm of the hand. It gestures towards our human past with remarkable fidelity to the long traditions of amber craftsmanship found in Gdansk, World Capital of Amber. Yet they also gesture towards an even older world, a lush, ancient one filled with exotic & rare materials, to which we cannot return & of which it is an artifact. Then again, these small, precious pieces point us towards the future, as if they are blueprints of what we may become.
Ultimately, the world the DK Amber Mosaics come from is our world, newly imagined...

 (1 review) jewelry, earring, gift, sterling-silver, amber http://www.amberjewelry.com/Luck-Ladybug... - Lucky Ladybug Amber Stud Earrings- delight, to go! Playful sterling silver winged ladybugs light up with the warm glow of Baltic amber bodies. Ladybugs are generally loved by gardeners for their help in feeding on garden pests. They seem to be universally adored, especially by children, who cherish them for their iconic bright color & instantly recognizable spots. Spotting a ladybug, or having one land on the body, is regarded as a sign of good luck. About twice the size of "real" ladybugs... and this one won't fly away or disappear when the seasons change!

- Woot! Lucky (Ladybug!) us!!! Amberjewelry.com got a mention in the one, the only Mogulette blog by Carmina Pérez!
Andzia attended the Women's Jewelry Association event in New York about a week ago and had a fantastic time. Jewelry is so laden with personal meaning and symbolism. I just moved, myself- and late last fall, I was at a women's luncheon, meeting about 50 women of all kinds of different backgrounds.
As I was looking around, I realized that every woman I laid eyes on was wearing a piece of jewelry, a piece of jewelry that tells a story. Guess what I used as an icebreaker????!!! Wearing personal ornaments is something that is embedded in us very deeply, it helps tell the world what "tribe" we are in.
