Lone Star is not only one of the greatest states in North America, but it’s also a state of mind. The Lone Star symbol also represents the spirit of Texas that accounts for its independence and self-reliance---hence why there is only one star on the state’s flag. Texas is the second largest U.S. State and boy does it have a varied and colorful past. It also blends a lot of cultures into one to give it its unique and strong identity. From cowboys to cattle, from BBQ to Tex Mex, from lone prairies to spectacular mountains, from lowriders to pick-up trucks, from football to Chinelos and from big oil to all kinds of flavorful music---it’s got it all! And when you’re finally there, you get it and you do feel the spicey hospitality. It's awesome! So when making a bracelet that is dedicated to Texas, make it big, bold and beautiful with a salty earthiness throughout. This piece has 2 Large Bauxite Pieces and Leopard Fur Jasper Beads that reflect the colors and textures of some of those craggy mountains and the Red River soil. The Silver Beads somehow add a feel of antique silver-smithing and the ox Bone gives it an organic feel. Throw in an Antique Star Button and pow! I found this button years ago and still haven’t seen another button like it since. It looks like an old concho you would see on a well-worn set of chaps. Also included are 2 Bone Mala Skulls to represent all the different types of cultures coming together deep in the heatrt of Texas---okay…clap three times! This is a substantial piece and definitely makes a statement on the wrist so what are you waiting for? Giddy up!
