Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Joyce was able to consistantly and beautifully make an inspired pick while thinking about dinner on 100 out of 100 trials! LOL (cant help it– in paperwork mode)

Breezy Chick aka Bree says:The pea pods charms are so cute. Perfect colored stones for pea and ham soup. I like your work

J Yee smart chick says:Thank you chickies, I too was channeling some warm soup, it’s cooler up here lately so soup is a comfort food!
Lorrie, your paperwork inspired description is making me ROTFL, you give me way too much credit for accuracy –
Bree, I too love those adorable pea pod charms, sure makes me think of all kinds of other sayings, such as “like two peas in a pod…”, not sure how I would do that one!

Deb D Grammy Chick says:Well, Joyce, I’m not much of a split pea and ham soup girl (ham and bean is more my style!), but I’m sure lovin’ this wonderfully comforting pick! Those greens are awesome!!

J Yee smart chick says:Deb, I’m laughing at your comment about not really liking split pea n’ ham soup, me neither, I just figured I would try to make one with peach jade, another lovely gemstone I dont’ use much in Picks!
On Nov 03, 2009 at 6:44 pm #
Deb D Grammy Chick says:I do love that peach jade with the greens!

M mccallister mrs chick says:speaking of the pea pod beads , does anyone know of a source for a sterling silver or pewter pea pod pendant that allows the designer to insert beads as the actually peas????
On Nov 03, 2009 at 6:49 pm #
Sali Jo GemsChica Chick says:I think these are handmade by the creator with PMC.

Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:This is such a gorgeous pick, Joyce! Not to mention it makes me crave split pea soup! LOL

J Yee smart chick says:Monica, what a great question – I don’t know of any. However, a woman who teaches in the Bellevue area, Janice Berkebile teaches a class on how to make pea pod pendants that involve creating a wire frame, some wire coiling on the frame, then you wire the “pea pod” beads onto the frame.
Chickies, sure appreciate the comments – don’t you wish we had a spot on this site where we could share recipes??? Not that I have a recipe for split pea soup
