The Wow Game Encourages

How do you teach design that sells and encourage excellence at the same time? The "Wow Game" works to set standards while gently developing skills and a positive experience.

Over the past couple of years widows, orphans and students have been learning how to make beautiful earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Creating beautiful jewelry is great therapy and moves them towards financial freedom. The ladies and kids first learn how to combine the beads to make a piece of jewelry of their choice. We encourage earrings because more earrings sell than any other piece of jewelry. Next as a group we show each other our first designs for a vote. Is it "wow" or "just OK?" If it is just OK we encourage them and suggest changes to the design to train their eyes to see how different elements come together. We tell them not to feel bad but to learn because we want their jewelry to sell and we all need to be teachable. They respond well and when they get a "wow" vote and everyone claps, the sense of accomplishment is written all over their faces.

The Rock needs volunteers to sell the jewelry to friends or at crafts shows. We have packets of 20 pairs of earrings that are easy to sell and priced at $15-$30 per pair with natural stones, unique African trade beads from Kenya, all with either surgical steel or sterling silver posts. Proceeds go to support the mercy homes, scholarships, mentoring and the widows small business development. As The Rock is able to sell the jewelry we are able to pour back into the jewelry making businesses along with supporting other projects of The Rock Outreach. If you are interested in sell one packet please call me at 214-366-0425 and I'll deliver them to you.
