\"Ivy“I love the idea of the baby necklace… many nurses would love to have one made for the parents of their little patients.” ~Katina-K<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My younger cousin Hayven, just had another baby. And I must say she has chosen some wonderful names for both of her little ones… Olive and Ivy.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This is not too surprising since both her and her sister Tama, also have not-so-common names. Plus she has to compete hard with her darling cousin (me, :-)<\/em>, ever since Doug and I went with the names Willow and Fisher for our babies (who btw, are now both long past the diaper stage).<\/span><\/p>\n

When we received the news about Olive, the latest arrival<\/em> into Hayven and Alec’s young family, everyone was delighted! What a cute name for such a sweet little baby. And the perfect compliment to her older sister Ivy!<\/span><\/p>\n

We will all get to see this new member of the family in a couple of weeks. So I thought it would be fun to give Hayven a baby gift, just for her. A tribute to both of her lovely daughters.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that is the story of how this idea for my Polymer Clay Ivy Leaf Charm and Olive Bead Necklace<\/em> was born!<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the idea of the baby necklace, I used to work in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and know many nurses who would love to have one made for the parents of their little patients. <\/span>~Katina-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This baby keepsake necklace idea<\/a> is cute! It’s simple, yet people would have an absolute fit about it. A new parent would love to own one of these! ~<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Honestly as a bead maker, these types of opportunities do not come along often. There are not many times that names can be directly translated into bead shapes… and go together so well. I guess you could make Willow and Fisher Beads, but Cindy and Doug Beads..?! Can’t quite picture what they would look like.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Ivy<\/td>\n<\/td>\nThe Ivy Leaf Charm was created with a teardrop blend of Studio by Sculpey clays. Then using a real ivy leaf, the veining and shape were created. It was given a gentle curved shape in the baking process to give it more realism. As well, the copper loop was twisted to form a tendril accent, making it even more obvious that it is an Ivy Leaf.<\/span>The Olive Bead was also created with Studio by Sculpey clay and given a stuffing<\/em> of pimento and a star shaped opening in the back where the pit<\/em> was removed. Olive beads are actually becoming quite popular right now because of the resurgence in popularity of the Martini. So I made a few extra Olives for earrings as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s neat about this necklace, is that although the beads are symbols of the names Hayven gave to her babies, it is also a lovely and wearable item on its own. To most everyone, this art jewelry piece will be a very pretty, nature inspired fashion accessory.<\/span><\/p>\n

But for those who are close to Hayven… well they will get to hear the endearing story of how this Polymer Clay Ivy Leaf Charm and Olive Bead Necklace<\/em>, actually came to be!<\/span><\/p>\n

My plan is to include the Ivy Leaf Charm<\/strong> as the Bead Shape<\/strong> topic for the May 2010 video tutorial line up. And I’d love it if you would guys would cast your votes, opinions, feedback and suggestions, in the comments section below.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
