I only wore these once…to a comic shop. 
Since 98.2% of you are new visitors, this might be a good time to mention that I’m also an indie games developer, and I’ve got a new freeware adventure game coming out in the next week or so. It’s called “Nanobots” and it’s about puzzle-solving robots. Y’all come back now, y’hear? 
June 15th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Astounding.
June 15th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
This was a triumph! I’m making a note here – huge success!
(Seriously, mega cool earrings and another amazing pic. I was hoping you were going for the companion cube from the first picture, so I was pretty psyched to be right. It happens so rarely.
)
June 16th, 2008 at 1:30 am
Cute! You’ve inspired me to get to work and finish my Guybrush and LeChuck voodoo doll pincushions…
June 16th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Thanks everyone!
frisbeepilot, I could send you your own set, but I’m not sure if they’d suit you.
Whimsical, thanks muchly.
You were indeed correct about the companion cube. It was a lot of fun to make, and I was actually kind of sad when I had to cut it in half. :/
Kerry, that sounds like an awesome project! I hope you send pictures when you’re done.
June 19th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I do hope these aren’t the only ones of its kind, I’d pierce my ears for these beauties, fitting or not.
What better way to think with portals than to be between two at all times? And a faithful cube to boot.
June 19th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Seriously geek cred here. Pretty cool!
June 19th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Thanks very much Raskal!
That’s actually quite a nice way to think about it…I wasn’t so sure about walking around with a portal through my head. People could get the wrong idea.
June 19th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Also: thanks Juice505.
I hear geek cred is redeemable for Yu-Gi-Oh cards?
June 19th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Very nice! Must say I am impressed
PS. You just might be my soulmate lol
June 19th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
yep, it’s official. Once you hit stumbleupon, you hit Digg. then THE WORLD. expect alot of the “marry me” lines. Portal Reference equals instant win.
June 19th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
*big smile*
I’ll prepare for the digg crowd then, shall I?
June 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Haha Damn right VG lol.
Get on it Ivy
June 19th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
i think i love you
June 19th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Marry me
June 19th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
purjunka, I’m going to be honest…it felt weird to click “approve” on that comment.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
not only are you Canadian… but you’re beautiful… and a gamer!
My head’s going to explode.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Now why would you only wear such awesome creations only one time?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
WOW! This made me very happy, the hearts in particular =). Is this Sculpey? I’ve worked with that stuff for the past…8 years of my life. So much fun to be able to put your fingers around something like a companion cube, and best of all, you made it with your own hands! Way to go!
June 20th, 2008 at 3:12 am
This is… incredible, really!
I wish I had the hands to do such amazing art… just this little piece of accessory made me think about buying your games actually XD but I wait for the new Nanobots I think =) I like the charme of the screenshots of your first game very much, reminds me of the old Lucasarts games, when graphic was uniform and people concentrated on what really matters, having fun while playing a game
Something Portal did too, combined with awesome graphics.
Kudos for your work -bookmarks your site-
June 20th, 2008 at 11:28 am
This has got to be the coolest thing I’ve stumbled upon lately. The companion cube was awesome in itself.. then you busted out the portals and the idea went from 10 out of 10 to F***ing-Awesome out of 10!
June 20th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
I didn’t have time last night as I had to get to bed for work (only 1 week left in the sweat shop known as a GM assembly line so I can go full time into my IT consulting and Real Estate businesses) but I am going to check out your games right now.
Once in a while Stumble Upon actually brings me across something I just have to bookmark and check back on. This little site of yours is definitely my latest!
Boxafella, I would have went with gorgeous but beautiful works just as well
I will definitely say there should be more women like this in the world!
June 20th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Flattered but spoken for, I’m afraid.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, I’ve read your comments a few times and they keep making me happy. I used to play with Fimo as a kid and I’m kinda glad I still know how to use it.
…and even though this is the second piece of video game fanart I’ve made out of Fimo that doesn’t mean it’ll become a thing.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Great job on the earrings, they look great. As does the wearer
Whoever is your significant other is very lucky 
cute and talented.
June 20th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
“Ivy Says:
”
purjunka, I’m going to be honest…it felt weird to click “approve” on that comment.
It was more of a joke reply to VG_Junkee’s comment but in all honesty if I saw you walking down the street wearing that I would hit on you 100%.
PS. I bet you were “teh pwnage” at the comic shop.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Ok downloaded the demos of your games and absolutely had a blast. Spent most of my time on the Unbound one and loved the look and story. Had that old style, retro feel to it and I enjoyed the graphics and even the story. Going to purchase them just for the hell of it because I had a good time on them.
Very nice Ivy! Going to have to check out the nanobots one now.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:31 am
Just dangling Companion Cubes would have been enough, but to position it half in half out of a Portal…you’re awesome. I’ll be adding this to the Portal round-up page at Geekanerd, Portal Authority.
June 23rd, 2008 at 11:44 am
Well this project has certainly been good for my ego. :-,
Thanks everyone for taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it. Glad the earrings are such a hit…and gamer gentlemen, I’m sure you could fashion a right dandy pair of cufflinks if you had some smaller mirrors (I’m not actually recommending this, but you know
.
(Also, thanks for checking out my games. Not everyone likes the “retro” look, but I’m one of those people who still plays King’s Quest, so I’m sort of biased.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:54 am
Ohmygod… What amazing creations. I wish I’d the time to do that. That was creative and so nicely constructed. I’m going to try that soon! Ok I’m a geek too.___.
June 26th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Hey thanks!
I hope you do try it…creative geekiness is a good way to spend a rainy day. :-,
June 30th, 2008 at 2:07 am
Wicked cool earrings. Glad I stumbled here. I’d totally buy those from you… but i don’t know who i’d give them too. look great on you though!

Is it a bit awkward for me to say as soon as I saw this pic I wanted to marry you. Seriously. Where do I meet someone like you?
January 18th, 2009 at 5:20 am
OF COURSE I’ll be back!! Aaar as the others said,I’m really glad to have stumbled here. I definitly should craft some companion cube items. mmh maybe some stuff for cats? Anyway,I can provide you with swiss chocolate in exchange of these earrings!!
ow,and just tell me if you need to know something concerning japanese,I’m half-jap and I’ll be glad to help you out in any way!
uuh and keep up the good work. And I think Poison Ivy in the batman movies are really off their potential. She’s truly a brilliant supervilain,she deserve a better image on the screen. And a more wicked one.

I just came across these and they are quite awesome. Thank you for posting the pictures! I think I might try my hand at making tiny whole cube earrings and putting them in a cage of some sort. Thank you for the inspiration.
December 27th, 2009 at 1:45 am
Its cool to see your creativity flows even outside the world of game dev.
July 15th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Brilliant
August 29th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Wow, the creator of Nanobots is a hot redhead with mad sculpey skills.
This world just became a significantly more awesome place.
August 30th, 2010 at 3:37 am
I love how you used little mirror as a mount. A really creative idea to show portals.
October 8th, 2010 at 3:40 am
just stumbled here,
really cool job
November 11th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
The moment I found your page was like wow. Thank you for putting your effort in making this article.
November 24th, 2010 at 9:04 am
really clever job on making that
it’s just another inspiration for me to make my legitimate Majora’s mask costume
November 30th, 2010 at 8:20 am
i love companion cube thank you stumble upon. ive actually been trying to learn 2d and 3d animation so i can make games and videos and such any suggestions
November 30th, 2010 at 11:14 am
Holy shit, holy shit. I am going to make some of these some day.
November 30th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
i wish i knew a cute girl that likes portal XD
i could fit those cubes in my gauge hole, 7/8ths of a inch hole through my earlobe.
December 1st, 2010 at 3:50 am
wow. at first i was all uninterested and whatnot. but than i saw it and now thats the coolest thing i’ve ever seen.

December 24th, 2010 at 8:07 am

February 16th, 2011 at 5:02 am
Hey there! I’ve been following your site for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Houston Texas! Just wanted to say keep up the great work!
February 18th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
the cake is a lie the cake is a lie!
March 13th, 2011 at 1:09 am
Hello there i have a question about what kind of clay you use. it would help very much im makeing GLaDOS’s earing and Companon cubes. Thank you very much
March 13th, 2011 at 1:21 am
I used Fimo clay, but Sculpey works just as well. Go forth and spread the dorkitude!
March 13th, 2011 at 1:37 am
Sweet thank you so much! Can’t wait to go to the craft store.(im working on GLaDOS earrings as well, when i finish them i’ll post a pic.
