Karen! Look what you've started!! This chalk thing was my project for today. I made some tiles using the white pearl clay and chalked with a rainbow of colors. Ahhh... Rainbow is my FAVORITE color! :-) I really like how they turned out, but I didn't make enough to do a bracelet or anything, so I haven't scanned them yet. Then, since I had some black scraps on my work surface from yesterday, I had to find out what would happen with bright chalks on black clay. I used copper PearlEx, too, and left a heavy dusting of chalk on the clay. Below is the link to 2 of my finished experiments. Thanks SO much for sharing this technique! I LOVE it! There were my clay and my chalks just a shelf away from each other in the craft closet and I would never have thought to put them together!

The special tools/other items you might need depend on what kind of bracelet you want. It sounds like you already have an idea of what you want your bracelet to look like. You could string the beads on elastic or leather or ribbon - in which case you would mostly need to tie some knots at the end. You could attach your beads to a silver chain or create your own findings. Working with wire, you'll need something to shape it and something to cut it. A good place to start mighht be your local craft store/bead shop or adult ed program. Try taking a class on jewelry making. That should give you some ideas for assembly. This is a cool idea - I like the way you are telling your personal story. Here is a link that might be useful: craftfetish blog

These are 6mm Austrain Crystals (Got them at Hobby Lobby. ) The hemitite beads come in different stregths and finishes. These are "extra strength bullet tubes" ... they are more powerful and alittle on the expensive side.... here's the site I bought them at (Arizona Bead Company ) I didn't see any info on the healing powers,Candy ... but snoop around their site - maybe you will find something. I sure have heard alot of "Success stories" with Magnets... I bet they would sell like hotcakes! The funniest thing was when I was eating at a restaurant -- the silverware kept attaching itself to my bracelet ! LOL This bracelet is strung on very thin nylon coated steel wire and is about 15" long ... The pattern of beads are : 2 hemitite /1 crystal/spacer/1 crystal/1 spacer/1 crystal . there's 10 sets of this combo with 2 extra hemitie beads on the end. It wraps around my wrist twice - but you can always experiment with different combos to make different lengths. Hope this helps a bit ! Here is a link that might be useful: Hematite Beads

It works on any computer with a USB port and has been used and accessed by the urgent care team. It doesn't have to access the Internet or go online it is a file stored on a USB flash drive. The ones that have to be called in are time consuming. This is direct access. I was to the point of not having enough room to engrave everything on the metal plate of the bracelets. I do also have an engraved medic alert dog tag necklace but I don't wear it very much, I don't like wearing necklaces. I have never heard of hospitals not looking at them. I have only had very positive feedback and response from all the medical community I have been around. I am considering a new USB one that is stainless steel and can use all my pretty beaded jewelry bracelets that I was using on my regular medic alert plate. These all contain PHR (Portable Health Record) or EMR (Electronic Medical Record). Which provides as much medical information as you want to include in the file. So I can be certain that they know exactly what they need to know immediately. If I had only one thing I needed to alert on I would probably still use the metal plate engraved. They definitely don't have to be ugly anymore! For those who think that you need to look at a few of the sites that offer the beaded jewelry bracelets which the plates attach to, there's some beautiful ones available. I have one I made with lapis lazuli beads and silver it's one of my favorites. It is great because it makes the young girls want to wear their bracelets since they are so stylish.
