Ivy & Isabel
‘Blue is the colour of the sky and the ocean. Blue represents faith, loyalty and confidence. It also happens to be Ivy’s favorite colour. ’
“Dramatic, offbeat, fanciful and downright unorthodox. Those are all words Isabel would use if you asked her to describe herself. They also happen to be the very same words given when she was asked to describe the Pink Polymer Dangle Earrings.”
“A bow is a splendid way to add just a touch of charm and adornment to… well, just about anything. Ivy and Isabel are both practitioners in the equivocal art of bow tying and find the polymer clay bow exceptionally satisfying.”
“Today the kitchen has been a flurry of flower and confectioners sugar as thick as fog. Cakes, bars, cookies and pies line the counter, as at long last Ivy and Isabel’s baking frenzy comes to a close. I should note that while Ivy and Isabel are known to often be found enjoying the sugary delights that only baked goods can provide, it is only every once in a while that it catches their fancy to pick up the whisk and rolling pins for themselves.
Their favorite treat has always been the cupcake, the more frosting the better and don’t even think of skimping on the sprinkles.”
tumblrbot asked: WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?
Ivy and Isabel have always dreamed of one day traveling to Egypt. The Great Pyramids have held a particular sense of wonder and mystery for the pair.
“Summer in wonderful, flowers are delightful, and honey is nothing short of divine. Ivy and Isabel try to enjoy every moment sent in their garden before Autumn comes calling. Unfortunately one such blissful moment was cut short when a bumble bee strayed too close to Isabel. Isabel is deathly afraid of bees and upon sighting the bee made a frantic dash towards the house.
Ivy made the most of the incident with the Honey Bee and Sunflower earrings, partly because the best kind of bee is the kind that can’t sting you, but mostly because the sight of them would agitate Isabel to no end.”
Since everyone loved the last pea pod, I made another.
This one glows in the dark. :D
It’s been a while since I used my glow in the dark clay; I thought it would be cute with these charms.
The little fortune cookie is my favorite charm now. :3
In the interest of keeping up with their floral creations, Ivy has created these Flower Drop Dangle earrings to keep your ears feeling cheerful during the summer months.

“Turquoise is of the most charming of colours. At least that is how Ivy and Isabel feel. While Ivy has her head filled with images of Aztec ceremonies and merrymaking, Isabel allowed her mind to wander to the soothing hot springs of Arizona. From the mountains of Persia to the caves of the Southern United States, there is no other metal quiet as captivating as turquoise. However, Ivy and Isabel have been able to capture the spirit of the stone and present it to you with the Turquoise Roost Wire Wrapped Necklace.”
