Isla del Pescado is a hilly little rocky outcrop of land in the middle of Salar de Uyuni (salt flat) in Bolivia....and yes, it's in the middle of somewhere Bolivia. It's called Isla del Pescado or "Island of The fish" because the locals say it looks like a fish when seeing it from a distance. On top of that rocky outcrop, are tons of cacti that look like a bunch of fuzzy people standing at attention. If it wasn't for the isolated large town of Uyuni that services the salt flats, you probably would never know about it yet venture out to see it. BTW, do check out the train cemetery in Uyuni because it looks like something out of a Sergio Leonne movie. However, it’s those little things in nature that we find by accident that we always remember eh? This bracelet was made with the Isla del Pescado in mind...particularly those green fuzzy soldiers standing guard on top. I found these lime green vintage pillow bead balls years and years ago and thought they were perfect to represent the color and texture of the island’s cactus. The Hand-Carved Water Buffalo Beads have a look of the salt flat and the Yak Horn gives this bracelet a nice organic pop, The Brown Water Buffalo Beads do add needed earthiness to this piece. The Bone Mala Skull represents your journey in getting to such a distant place as Isla del Pescado. Head out to the salt flats and see if you can see the fish and soldiers standing to!
