Big ceramic button bolo

Tools and materials: ceramic button bolo, leather cord, beads (x2).

WEEK OF 10.20.25

My grandpa was a bolo guy — wearing them, and making them — so I’ve always loved the style. I had fun playing around with these bead bolos back in June, and have a bunch of different types I want to try out in different materials. This week I got this ceramic one out of the kiln, and added some leather cord that’s adjustable in two ways — through the “button” holes, and sliding the knots along the top.
