When I received these conchos and buckle in the mail, I was instantly in love! I love, love this set!
Of course I had to pair it with a bunch of different flowers, all clustered together. These little conchos have a turquoise stone on them, so I added a slight turquoise highlight to a couple of flowers on the cheek and one on the ear - it's very slight, you can hardly see it. I also wanted to use the copper from the conchos and buckle, so added a few copper spots on the carved flowers.
I used beading on the ear and also on the poll strap. I used shades of turquoise, cream, tan, browns, and a few metallics. It looks SO NICE!! These beads really help pull everything together. I filled in the rest with copper spots with turquoise patina.
It turned out just as I imagined! I love it!
This short cheek headstall measures 34" as it sits, and has 2 holes smaller and 2 holes larger, for adjustment
