Tonight I’m bringing you a peek at another custom order I did a few months back.\u00a0 Forgive my gushing, but my customers are so creative.\u00a0 I am fascinated with the cool ideas they bring to me.\u00a0 I’m honored to help make those ideas a reality by creating a completely one of a kind, memorable piece of wearable art.<\/p>\n

A woman had emailed me about making a special necklace to honor her young son, who has a very rare congenital heart defect called a vascular ring of the right aortic arch.\u00a0 The heart’s vascular ring pinches the trachea and esophagus which can inhibit breathing and swallowing.\u00a0 I understand it’s very rare, with only 1 in 100,000 people suffering from this diagnosis.\u00a0 Starting with my classic anatomically correct heart, this is what we came up with together.<\/p>\n

I don’t know much about anatomy, so it was quite a challenge to match the medical pictures I had found while minding the physical properties and limitations of polymer clay.\u00a0 Making this necklace also reminded me, yet again, how brilliant and miraculous our bodies are.\u00a0 At any given moment our bodies are carrying out thousands (millions?) of mind-boggling and invisible processes to keep us alive, and yet we often take this for granted.<\/p>\n

To my delight my customer loved it, and I hear her son’s pulmonologist got a kick out of it as well, LOL!\u00a0 Believe it or not this isn’t my first heart defect piece.\u00a0 I am glad that this unusual but lovely little niche found me!<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading,<\/p>\n
