Are you sure that is a Pod Pendant?

It looks a little to be on the skinny side of being a pod. Sally came over today and showed me the correct way to wrap the wire. I really have to loosen up and give the next enough room to nestle those beads in the pod. Being my first it isn't really that bad... just thin. It must be the inner me wishing for skinny. The last two weeks have been really bad with my thyroid acting up. My bones ache and I've gain 8 lbs. It is a very uncomfortable feeling. I have seven days to go before my next appointment to see the Endocrinologist. I am going to call it a night. Tomorrow is the AKS Gem Show. I really looking forward to fondling some beads!! Our favorite vendor Graywolf will be there. I love the one cut seed beads they bring.

Pod Pendants

Saturday we learned how wire wrap Pod Pendants. These are the examples for the class created by Carol Nastasi. I got the basic's down but I have not completed the pod pendant yet. I find the wire is too hard on my hands. It could be the weather or it could be part of getting old. I am not sure which but it sure caused my fingers to ache. I am not giving up. I will try again in a few days.
