Symbol of the West is inspired by the early bolo styles. A “woven” peyote stitch cord ends in two bezeled metal ovals and a decorative pearl and beaded cap. The slide is actually stationery in this design. An oval metal component is the backdrop for a bezeled CZ and pear CZ drop. A bolo tie taken to another level! metal. The metal techniques will be demonstrated in class, but you will be getting punched and ready to use components with your kit.
