The hill of the Drachenfels (Dragon’s rock) in the Siebengebirge, Germany always had special meaning to me. Driving down the highway from Bonn it comes in sight and suddenly I know I am home.

This special hill seems to always have had special meaning to people inspiring art, literature and music as well as being said to be the scene of Siegfried slaying the dragon in the Niebelungenlied while at the same time being an important historic site.

It also inspired this design that creates textured wrist warmers reminiscent of dragon skin surrounded by picot details remembering of tiny dragon
spikes.
