In terms of using the pods as pendants, I decided that I wanted something more interesting than a plain jumpring to hang them from a ribbon or chain. So yesterday I experimented a bit with glass bails.
This is my favorite, so far. It's made on a 1/4" mandrel, so it's easy to run a large ribbon or cord through.
I've waded through my stash of fibers and have some fun ideas for neckcords, but that will have to wait my return after a weekend with family.
