Miss Chopsticks Origami Jewellery
|
Miss Chopsticks is the label from Sydney based jewellery designer Parry Yang. She was born in China and raised in the small seaside town of Shantou where she learned the art of origami as a child.
Miss Chopsticks’ beautiful handmade origami jewellery takes us back through time to the age old craft of paper folding. Origami is an ancient art form practiced widely in Japan and now worldwide. It quite literally means paper folding. The art's origins took root during the early seventh century, as the technique of paper making was introduced to Japan by China. Miss Chopsticks Origami Jewellery began from Parry’s passion for miniature pieces and from the positive response she received when people saw her miniature origami designs that she initially created as a hobby. Parry has put in a considerable amount of effort and skill into hand making these small and intricate creations. Her range of earrings is affordable to all whilst reflecting quality and workmanships. Each handmade origami is created from a traditional paper made from the long inner fibres of three plants Koze, Mitsumata and Gampi. Each intricate origami piece is coated with protector layer that gives a long lasting, sophisticated finish.

How long have you been making your origami jewellery?
I started making origami when I was young, and I began to get positive responses from people who appreciate my miniature origami designs. I've started to build it into a small business over the past few years. How did you get started? I got started from my passion for miniature gadgets and colourful papers, and in response to positive comments I received when people saw my miniature origami jewelry which was initially created as a hobby. What is your greatest inspiration? My greatest inspiration is music, a nice beat to a groovy rhythm and nature itself. What is the greatest challenge to owning and operating your own business? Greatest challenge would be finding more than 24 hours in a day to create, make, promote, and design all the things and tasks. What is the best part of owning your own creative business? I love what I do and enjoy every moment of true happiness and content in every part of my own creative business. The best part is appreciating the process and bonus comes along with it. |
