It's been a long time since I shared any jewelry that I've made, so here's my new favorite bracelet. . .

Each strand has one of our family members names written out in Morse Code!  How awesomely nerdy is that!?!?!!  I made it using black waxed linen string and silver round and tube beads.  Since I'm not fluent in Morse Code, I put a knot between each letter so I could figure out what was going on later.  I tried it out first with a little bit bigger beads and very thin leather cord, but the cord kinked really funny and wouldn't lay in a nice smooth line. 

Every time I wear it, the kids want to know which one is there name, they think it's awesome and are unaware of the nerd factor.

A friend of mine got married last weekend and so I made her this necklace with their first and middle names and then their last name & forever.  Her new husband is a theoretical mathematician so I think he'll dig the nerdiness of it. :)
