Week 15: Blue Ivy

Yeah, well today's piece is inspired by the newest, most famous child in the world, Blue Ivy Carter, the little bebe from Beyoncé and Jay-Z.  I figured with all the hoopla surrounding it, I had to do a little homage.  Gwyneth Paltrow tweeted about her and she already has a hip hop song featuring her baby cries.  Seriously!  (Listen to Jay-Z's jam here) I took a fab, vintage, green, short sleeved, mini-jacket from my closet and grabbed some blue glass beads from my kit to get started.  See the color combo I'm going for??

Beads!!

I threaded a needle and began to stitch these beads down to the edging of the bow at the clasp on the neck.

Needle-icious!

After stitching around the edges of each side of the bow, I had insta-Blue Ivy!!

Just think, J & B will be singing a duet of "Bonnie & Clyde" to her all the time!!  The bead work was just a small little detail...

Easy beadsy

...to add onto an already chic mini-coat to show my Beyoncé respect.  Oh, and so was stuffing my belly with my hoodie.

No, I'm not really preggo...

Watch out Suri Cruise, there's a new celebri-tot in town!!
