INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For typical small jewelry such as an earring, you'll want a strip of sterling silver at least 2.5 inches wide and no more than 3.5 inches long. You can adjust these dimensions if you have a specific design in mind, but it may become a little harder to work with. 22 gauge and 24 gauge sheeting are commonly used. Sterling silver may be labeled "ster" or ".925." Silver is soft enough to be cut by a jeweler's saw, but will need buffing afterward to smooth out the sharp edges. These specialized tools can be found at craft stores, hardware stores, or online.  A jeweler's saw with a saw blade numbered 2/0 A small buffing machine with canton flannel wheels (or a bench grinder with the grinding wheel replaced)  Jeweler's rouge or blue polishing compound. (Scratched silver may require white rouge or brown Tripoli polishing compound instead.) For earrings: sterling silver ear hooks, a drill, and a number 64 drill bit For surface designs: a metal stamp and hammer. Insert the saw blade into the upper end of the jeweler's saw and fasten the wing nut. Insert the lower end and tighten the wing nut while pulling on the frame to add tension. The buffing machine may already come pre-assembled, or you may need to consult to add the buffing wheels according to your model's instructions. Mount the buffing machine on your workbench. To test the saw, stroke the blade with a fingernail and listen for a "Ping" sound. If it does not make this sound, tighten the saw until it does when stroked. You can sketch out the shape yourself, or find a design online or in magazines. For a pair of matching earrings, make two identical copies. Tape the design over the silver sheeting and use the saw to cut through the outline.  Use a slightly forward tilt to the saw as you cut. Move the saw up and down as you cut. The easiest way to add detail to the surface is to purchase a stamp designed to imprint silver. To stamp a thin sheet of silver, lay the stamp over the metal and hammer it in firmly. Make sure the stamp stays flat and in position while you hammer it several times. Following your model's instructions is recommended. Generally speaking, the jeweler turns on the machine and applies polish (jeweler's rouge) sparingly to the wheel. Gently touch the jewelry to the surface of the wheel to smooth out rough edges and polish the surface. This will remove polish residue. Dry with a soft, clean cloth, preferably wool or chamois. Drill a small hole near the top of each earring, insert one end of the hook, and twist the hook around itself or tuck it over the earring edge to attach it firmly. Obviously, you can skip this step if making jewelry that does not require a hook attachment

SUMMARY: Pick the silver. Gather supplies. Assemble the jeweler's saw and buffing machine. Choose a design that you would like to use. Cut the silver in the chosen shape. Stamp the clay (optional). Polish the jewelry on the buffing machine. Wash in warm soapy water. Attach an ear hook to each earring.

Most people, when they are nervous, have a tendency to take shallow, rapid breaths that speed up your heart rate even more, pumping more adrenaline to your body and fueling your anxiety.  Learning to calm your breathing will help you breathe more efficiently, reduce the effects of adrenaline, and calm your nervous stomach. Try breathing in through your nose, then exhaling through your mouth. Aromatherapy uses essential oils, which are derived from various herbs, fruits, bark, and flowers, to positively affect your mood.  Lavender and lemon are two of the most popular oils used for relaxation and stress relief.  You can either keep these scented oils in burners throughout your house, or you can also purchase aromatherapy massage oils with lavender or lemon for personal use.  You can either take light sniffs of the oil or apply the oil to pulse points on your body, like the wrists. To help offset a nervous stomach, there are specific foods that contain enzymes and other properties that can relax the digestive tract.  If you are really nauseous and don’t feel like eating at all, seek these ingredients out in the form of a mint or lozenge so you can just let it melt in your mouth:  Honey is soothing and helps coat the stomach lining. Mint and peppermint, which contain properties that relax smooth muscles like the stomach. Ginger and candied ginger, which contain pyrochemicals that help fight nausea. 1 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved into 1 cup of hot water.  The sodium in baking soda draws out digestive juices into the stomach, which then aids food’s passage through the small intestine. Papaya, which contains protein digestive enzymes that have anti-inflammatory properties. This is also known as progressive muscle relaxation. When you are feeling tense and your stomach is in a knot, try standing still with your eyes closed.  Assess where you feel the most tension in your body, and focus on letting this tension go.  Take deep breaths as you relax your arms, your legs, your back, your neck, your torso, and your stomach.  Focusing on your body instead of your thoughts can help calm you down.  Doing this technique repeatedly can also trick the body into releasing this tension throughout the body, including the stomach. While you never want to take medicine if you can avoid it, sometimes a nervous stomach can be so extreme or persistent that it becomes necessary.  If the non-medicinal techniques aren’t working for you, there are some medications that can help calm the stomach.  Common over-the-counter examples include:  Tums Pepto-Bismol Rolaids Alka-Seltzer Emetrol Mylanta Similac

SUMMARY: Learn some breathing techniques. Use aromatherapy to help you relax. Eat foods that calm the stomach. Try to relax your body one part at a time. Treat your symptoms with medicine.
