The Big Stegosaurus Bolo Tie Is approximately 2 3/8 inches wide by 1 7/8 inches high, and the Small Stegosaurus Bolo is approximately 1 7/8 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches high. You can make a cord choice of DEEP SEAFOAM, DUSTY LILAC, or DARK PURPLE. The cords, including the silvertone tips, measure about 36" long. If the bolo is for a child or a shorter than average adult, I recommend that you contact me and request a shorter cord. The length will depend on the height of the individual. Both Big and Small Stegosaurus bolo ties are hand silkscreened onto Shrinky Dinks plastic, and hand embellished with colored pencil. They are then heat shrunk in the oven, and preserved with clear acrylic fixative. The bolo slides are adhered with 2-part epoxy and the tips are glued with Super Glue Ultra-gel. I became enamored with dinosaurs when I worked in the geology department of the Milwaukee Public Museum, as a scientific illustrator, while getting my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at UWM. I also created a stegosaurus costume named "Smedley" that was worn by one of the paleontologists during the annual "Dinosaur Dash". In later years when I started making Lobe Art, I realized that since nobody really knows what colors dinosaurs were, I could make them any color I wanted! In my mind, that made them perfect subjects for fashion accessories!
