Beading a message

One of the things that I enjoy doing is creating jewelry with a hidden message. You think of the message you want to use, and then use Morse Code. For each letter, use a round bead to represent a dot, and a square or tube bead for the dash. I use a tiny bead to mark the end of each letter and choose a bead to mark the end of each word.

Before, I've always written it all out by hand and then followed the pattern, but now with AI, you can use this to create a pattern for you.

I made the bracelet below to remind me of what I am focusing on now that I have retired - I want to be fitter/healthier, spend more time with friends and family, and do more crafting, so I captured that in the 3 words - Care, Connect, Create - and that is what is coded into this!

Believe in Rainbows.... as code, with the letter and word dividers looks like this - ─○○○· ○· ○─○○· ○○· ○· ○○○─· ○ || ○○· ─○ || ○─○· ○─· ○○· ─○· ─○○○· ───· ○──· ○○○ Threaded into a memory wire bracelet, it looks like this: "Believe in" is done in silver beads and cubes, and then "Rainbows" is done with a different color of the rainbow for each letter.

In addition to crafting stunning bracelets, these beads can be threaded to create dazzling necklaces or even a charming crystal hanging! Check out the necklace below, featuring the inspiring words "Care, Connect, Create" beautifully threaded with Amethyst and vibrant Hematite beads.
