Pods...again

I love pods and seeds (See my Pinterest favourites here). In funny old times it is not surprising that I am drawn to playing with the hope-filled shapes of pods and seeds and the calming colours of our wonderful eucalyptus gums...olive tinged ivories, or almost pearlescent whites with a hint of copper. Beautiful.I have a made a few of these into BIG necklaces...the pods connected with hand shaped wire or links.  Others are a single pod hung from rich cream cords made using string and cotton salvaged from the BHRAG excess string box! I love that even the cords are hand made by me. And the metaphor of the rope, not so strong on its own but really strong when it's twisted....Strength, hope, openness. Good to ponder. When assembled and photographed, these pieces will be for sale!
