A Gift In A Nutshell

Every nut can be opened and my friend will find personal notes in them.

My very best friend has her birthday now. And I´ve spent some time figuring out what I should give her. I pretty soon found out that department store gifts was out of the question. So - I was left in my thinking to make something creative and special for her.

The notes has images of walnuts on them as well as the text.

After some time I decided to make faux walnuts in polymer clay. They are all hollow because inside of them there´re small notes with written appreciations of her friendship. So every day of the week she can open one of them to find my words to encourage her.

A sterling silver walnut in a key chain as a reminder each day.

I made another walnut for her to open on her birthday - that says that seven walnuts a day would keep her healthy. At least that´s what Ph.D Joe Vinson has found out: "Walnuts have a combination of more healthful antioxidants and higher quality antioxidants than any other nut".

Placed in their special box and the extra nut to open on her day.

So the nuts for my friend is also a symbol of an amazing nut with it´s protecting shell as well as the nourishment she´ll find inside. In addition I was so lucky to find a walnut in sterling silver as a key chain - to be a reminder to her every day that she means the world to me. The nut is also a copy of a real nut made with electroforming method.


Thank you for beeing my friend and for the joy you give me every day. And for your love and appreciation. You´re the best, dear!!!

All wrapped to go - with an almond to cheer it up.
