FLORA began with a single, hand-crocheted flowery bolo tie made as a one-of-a-kind gift for a loved one. I had so much fun creating it that I made a few more - each one unique. I posted a photo of one on line, and the very same day I began getting requests for them! Who would have thought this quirky little "Boho Western" accessory idea would tickle so many people's fancy? I rounded up all my yarn baskets, picked the prettiest colours I could find, and got to work. Original-style Flora bolos are hand made from cotton yarns, organic and fair trade whenever possible. The lighter-weight version is a bit dressier in style, and is made from cotton and/or silk embroidery flosses. Each piece incorporates various types of beads; mostly wood on the original style bolos, some glass and crystal on the finer styles. The lighter weight bolos, though smaller in overall mass, take more time - and stitches - to create, so cost a wee bit more. Every single bolo tie is a unique combination of elements, and made to order. |
