The Story Behind the RM Indigo "Wild Flower" Black & Gold Beaded Bracelet
Lisa Barnes
I was excited to watch the music video debut for the title track of our leader's first solo album. I describe him as a lyrical linguistics expert. His artistic and imaginative use of words can ignite your heart, fire your temper, or make you remember your youth. His linguistic ability may be a product of his well-documented genius IQ, but I consider it a form of art that transcends music, poetry, and literature.
Once the music video started, I was mesmerized. The cinematography was beautiful, as was the man. Always tall and lean, he wore his hair long in the back, and his expression was serious. As he began to rap, he bared his soul. Fans who watched the 2022 family dinner had an idea of how he had felt over the previous few years. I knew the delay caused by the pandemic had only increased his need for respite, but I wasn't prepared for the honesty he revealed in the opening bars of this track.
Then, the artist he chose to collaborate with entered with the chorus, and what her voice added was just as impressive as his storytelling. Their voices wove a perfect tapestry that left me feeling sad, hopeful, and captivated. In short, I was astounded. When it ended, I returned to the beginning and watched it again and again.
Over the next few weeks, I continued listening to and watching it repeatedly. Eventually, a few other songs caught my attention and stayed with me. This album is exceptional, and I can see myself listening to it for years, but this title track will always be one of my Top 10 favorites.
Inspired by the opening scenes of the music video, the table-cut starburst focal beads are made of Czech glass and mimic the night sky illuminated with golden splashes of light. The Czech glass beads that separate the focal beads are facet-cut, fire-polished, opaque jet black, and are accented with gold-dusted black seed beads.
As soon as I saw the focal beads, I knew they were meant for this tribute piece. I may design one or more complementary pieces if the bracelet sells well or if there's enough interest. If this sounds like you, please let me know what form you would like the other piece or pieces to take, whether that's a necklace, earrings, or something else.
