Peas

Many jewelry artists are making really cool pea pod necklaces. I love these and had to try making my own.

This pea pod is made with sheet copper cut into the shape of a leaf. A hole is punched through each end. I used a dowel to gently round it in half long ways and lightly hammered the ends. I strung colored fresh water pearls on green coated copper wire and strung this through the hole at the ends. A little bail work and spirals finish it off. I'm pleased with my peas!
