    The greek story about the god Apollo and the nimf Daphne doesn't have a nice ending. Apollo's love stays unanswered and Daphne changes into a tree. I designed this bracelet where one one end Daphne changes slowly into a tree and on the other end Apollo is looking at here. But he'll only be able to touch the leaves and never her.

    Too bad that the material is too thin or flexible, it doesn't make a wearable bracelet. They actually need to be connected in order to give the bracelet enough firmness.

    Does that mean Apollo was the very first tree-hugger ?! :) Sorry, couldn't help myself.... Yeah, I think if you connect it or just thicken it this will work well.

    Thanks! I haven't tried metal yet. First I'll make some adjustments in plastic.
