"As a penance for having been enslaved by Hercules, the Amazons were instructed by patron goddess Aphrodite to wear forever the metal wrist bands used to chain and enslave them. The Amazons produced their bracelets from a magically indestructible metal called Amazonium, found only on Paradise Island. The Amazonium bracelets were useful, as magically indestructible gauntlets they could be used to deflect bullets, energy weapons, and all manner of attack." (wikipedia)
Dipped it in my leftover breakfast tea, threw it in the wash, sliced two button holes in different directions, sewed on two strong, old, glass buttons. Wearing it and hopefully ready for "all manner of attack". Thank you, everyone, for coming here, for amazing supportive powerful words, for helping me to see my own strength. This community is a mighty thing.
