It's just Common Cents

.........or maybe I should say the new jewelry line from mrs beadsley's is anyway! I am having fun with pennies and all the things that can be done with them.  I think they are interesting when flattened, left whole, buffed or whatever.  And since there are boxes and boxes of them here at the house, that equals a lot of opportunities to explore creative ways to use them in jewelry.
So, I collected some tools and wire and beads - and a penny of course
some lovely aventurine beads from Turquoise Magpie
a lovely heart shaped clasp from my local bead store - Beads on the Kennebec
copper wire from my local hardware store - Audettes - Ace Hardware
wheat penny drilled and domed
the finished piece.  Now named "(un)common cents".
