Carved Leather and Turquoise Western Belt

By Howard Knight

The pedestal entry in the 2005 Western Design Conference. Many people who attended the conference had never seen the unique combination of this fashion belt before. The edges are dark brown with a light tan center. Each flower center is inset with a natural cabochon of Lone Mountain Turquoise. The stunning blue turquoise is highlighted by the silver/gold snake skin background. The 2 1/4" wide belt is handlaced using kangaroo lacing.
