Yes, I am smitten!
Yes, it may seem like an unusual title, but this bracelet is made from different vegetable textures. For each different square, I made a texture plate of a different vegetable and then made the silver square from the texture plate. If you start from the square with the circle cut out of it as square 1, the vegetables I used are:
square 1 – brussel sprout (cut surface)
square 2 – broccoli
square 3 – celeriac
square 4 – corn on the cob
square 5 – avocado (skin)
square 6 – dried morel mushroom
square 7 – romanesco cauliflower
square 8 – frozen peas
toggle – as 1 – brussel sprout
So the question is – if you wear this, does it count as your 5-a-day? If you wear 8 different vegetables, surely you don’t need to eat them as well????And yes, meat eaters can wear it too! Anyhow – you can keep the vegetables a secret if you want – and basically this is a textured bracelet. It is made from fine silver with sterling silver jump rings. Makes an interesting conversation piece. The length is 7.5 inches (19 cm) – standard bracelet length. Each square is 1.5cm.
