That's what I decided to name this newest cuff. When it was finished it looked to me like perfect grassy paths lined with well trimmed bushes leading up to a forested area, with every tree in its proper place.
In general, I'm a fan of wild vegetation - I like it when bushes, flowers, grasses, etc. intermingle. Perfect suburban lawns are not my cup of tea, but hiking through the mountains seeing wildflowers in bloom is. When I went to school in suburban Chicago, the first spring flowers were grid-like tulips and daffodils looking very lonely in their perfect place surrounded by mulch. That was very depressing to this Equator-raised girl, used to much more bushy and wild vegetation. Me, I can't be bothered to raise plants purely for their aesthetic value. I do enjoy it when my okra and zucchini starts to bloom, though!
However, this is not plants in soil, it's a bracelet. And although it reminds me of a manicured garden, I like it. :) I like how it's spiky and how the 'bushes' add another touch of dimensionality to it. Sometimes, it's okay for everything to be in its proper place.

Great name for this bracelet. I like it a lot - I hardly ever work with green but have seen some really nice jewelry in the green family lately - maybe I need to buy me some green beads!
You have created a very unique bracelet there. I think it is interesting.
