Nature Girl’s Kaleidoscope Eyes

Nature Girl Designs was created as its founder strove to combine her love of photography and nature. Their astoundingly beautiful buckles are hand-crafted in their red barn in Connecticut. Sure, they could do it in the garage, the living room, or the factory down the street, but doesn’t “barn” sound so much more quaint and rustic?

Their vibrantly colorful, no-two-alike designs are created using a spin casting process that captures the crystalline geometry of a kaleidoscope and the free form splashes of tie-dye. Brightly-hued thermoset resins and plastics are spun at high speed to allow centrifugal force to create the unique symmetrical designs. Choose from large or small ovals or scroll buckle designs in antiqued pewter or brass.

Nature Girl can help you add a flourish of luminous color to your spring wardrobe. The only problem will be choosing from so many wonderful designs.

Can’t Resist the Urge?

Kerry and Rachel were so enamored by The Urge to Adorn line of handmade designer belt buckles that they bought the company. Their buckles are adorned with photos, retro images and antique illustrations, creating a look that is elegant, vibrant, charming, and unlike designs you will see anywhere else.

Their expanded selection of images are available in categories including, animals, Asian art, Buddhas, flowers, old west, insects, and many more. If their colorful selection still doesn’t satisfy your creative vision, they can also create custom buckles from your own images, adding their special multi-layered lacquer to create a vintage look.

In addition to high-quality leather belts, Urge to Adorn also offers eco-friendly, recycled rubber belts made from agricultural tires. We’re not saying you’re fat, but if they need a tractor tire to make your belt, maybe it’s time to put down that Krispy Kreme and take your new belt buckle out for a walk…
