Although I&#8217;ve left that business far behind, I still love the idea of making jewelry, and am always keeping my eye open for beads or jewelry materials we can produce on the farm, made from the seeds of various plants, find on the beach, or discover growing wild.<\/p>\n<p>Many great seeds that are used for jewelry come from rare vines that are very difficult to spot, except when they occasionally bloom or drop their seed pods.  I discovered one of these growing in the old-growth jungle at our river.  This was the &#8220;sea bean&#8221; that looks like a miniature hamburger and is found washed up on the area&#8217;s beaches from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>When I first moved to Costa Rica, I made and wore a bracelet made out of Guanacaste seeds from the huge tree growing at Anamaya.  I made the mistake of wearing it while swimming and the seeds absorbed water and swelled up, ruining the bracelet.  <strong>Lesson learned: never get jewelry wet when it&#8217;s made from seads or beans!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>We have or can find these here nearby the farm<\/2><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Canna (Canna Indica)<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Canna_indica\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Canna_indica<\/a><br \/>\n4-5mm round black.
