Autism awareness bead loom bracellette w/graph included

[beadizzygrl]

My nephew is autistic, my sis wanted something to help explain to the public why my nephew is the way he is.  A small pin just is not being shown enough.  Now this aughta work better than pin.



Here is the graph I made:


Print away if ya want!!

[Nuhbe]

Wow, that's a great idea!!! COngratulations, you made a perfect job 

[SparkleCookie]

WOW.
My jaw dropped when I saw this.
I LOVE it.  I've worked with a lot of kids with autisim or aspergers.  It's a tough diagnosis.  I applaude your effort.

[teraspawn]

Great pattern, and it's a good cause, too

[beadizzygrl]

Thank you very much PimpernelSmith, teraspawn, sparklecookie & nuhbe!!!!!  The colors really pop against the black.  Print away!!!!  I have a ton of these loom patterns to share.  If you like any of my other bracellettes, I will share the graphs with you.

This rocks! I used to work with special needs children and the autistic kids were my fave. They're so fun! They need a lot of patience, but they give back so much. This bracelet is beautifully done. I haven't beaded in years, but I may have to make one of these! Bookmarking this one!

[LiliDesign]

I hit this rocks too, I think it's a great design!
I've worked one-to-one work with autistic children, in mainstream school.  I think one of my proudest moments was when one of the children I was teaching sat down and drew a picture of the vegetables on the table, like the rest of the class.  It's lovely to see how all the other 8-year-olds are understanding and tolerant of his condition.

That is really really cool, what a terrific and thoughtful gift.

[sweets4ever]

Well, I'm not quite sure how to bead with a loom, but I'm willing to learn to try this bracelet!  I think it's wonderful.  Thanks so much for sharing the completed project AND diagram... 

[TogetherWeCan]

[heroinechic]

[weiwei]

Beautiful work.

I have a child with autism.  Autism has taught me the meanings of the words:

-patience
-joy
-exhaustion, and tolerance.  Just to name a few. 

This is just a gorgeous project.  I'll be making jewelry for all of my child's teachers this fall.  Just haven't quite figured out what I'm going to make yet. 

JUST a beautiful piece of art.

[FREYEDdenim]

That's the most awesome bracelet ever. My brother has autism and I'd love to make a braclet for myself and my Mom. How long and wide is your's?

[camilleriley]

this bracelet is so amazing. not just for the amaizing bead looming you did but for the cause itself.

great job!

[beadizzygrl]

This bracelette is 7 3/4" long (including clasp) and 1 1/8" wide.  Thanks on your compliments FRYEDdenim, and camilleriley!!!

I will definitely be making this for myself and my sister immediately. 

I do have one question though about bead looming in general.  I just started and all the wire I have used is awful and there is only one bead store in town and they are terrible!  What type of wire do you use?  A specific brand or type?  I have been using waxed linen and it is simply too clunky of a piece by the time I am done.

Thank you so much!

I swear by walmart off brand dental floss,  Equate!!  I used nymo beading thread, and did not hold up very well at all. I have never used wire in my loom.  I use dental floss for all my beadwork!!

[beadizzygrl]

If you cross stitch, this would also make a cool book mark!!  Or use same pattern with the bead plastic canvas too. 

[Babyangel]

I swear I think you are my long lost twin, my nephew is also autistic, and my brother is a harley freak... this is beautiful! If I can find the time to do some more beading Im gonna try this for my sis-in-law and myself!! thank you!!!

[beadizzygrl]

You are very welcome Babyangel!   

[lovemylabs]

[selkie]

My son has autism - he just came home from another stint in the hospital.
Thank you for doing this!


I agree with lovemylabs - send it in...

Every time I click on a link to download Beadesigner 1.0, it says "Page cannot be found".  I wanted to try designing a patriotic pattern, either like red, white and blue stars or something with yellow ribbons.

Wow, this is awesome!
I have to admit I don´t know much about autism... But it´s always great if peolpe work on educating the public instead of leaving us in our ignorance. ^^
Besides, the bracelet would be gorgeous without any justification.
