A healing button for cancer with a secret message for the Universe to support the healing. The button is dedicated to my sister who has started chemo this month. The button used is from Synthetic Plastics, a family business, and the button was named the Susan button after my sister.
Having a central mermaid in metal and green resin (my siser loves Mermaids) sitting in a sea cavern against a coral I found on the beach, using glass beads and the following... Amethyst to combat anxiety, Charoite for courage and to eliminate confusion, Malachite to help with detoxification and against tumors and aid with chemo, Pearls which enclose you with an aura of calm and beauty and helps with emotional stress, Red Jasper to help heal cancer, Tiger Eye for courage and combat fear, Rutilated Quartz to aid the immune system and help with radiation and an opal for good luck as this is my sister's birthstone, on purple and green (my sister’s favorite colors) cotton. The 3 Amethysts are hearts for love.
