Vanderbush creates clay necklaces depicting miniature scenes from each of the country's 63 national parks. With her husband, Jordan, Vanderbush has visited about half of the country's national parks, and they plan to cross more off their list each year. She layers clay in the exact colors of Badlands National Park's striated pinnacles at sunset and sculpts Arches National Park's famous "delicate arch" in miniature, giving it a ¼-inch span. Earth Clay donates 10% of all national park artwork profits to the National Park Foundation, and some park stores sell the necklaces. "We had always dreamed of visiting all the national parks," Vanderbush said.
