artwork details

Encore 2015

This buckle, featuring a sculpted red gold Longhorn skull and flowers with 18K yellow gold scrolls woven through, has green gold beads and flower centers to provide detail color, all over a filigreed background. Drain added a red gold edge with yellow wire accents, and cropped the top of the oval to keep the cost reasonable and provide belly relief. Measuring 2 3/4 inches by 3 1/4 inches, the buckle accepts a 1 1/4-inch belt.

Mark Drain, Silversmith (Emeritus Member)
Shelton, Washington

Mark Drain was fortunate to be mentored by silversmith Al Pecetti and saddlemaker Bill Maloy in Reno, Nevada. He opened his own silver shop in 1973 and became a friend of Francis Harry, whom Drain considers the finest Western engraver of all time. Today, Drain continues to do silver projects and machine shop work and hosts a few people wanting to improve their engraving skills.
