What technique do you use to keep your nails short?

Dawn 2y ago

I wait until one breaks then file the rest to match it

I sew leather and wool quite often so I am familiar with the button/snap dilemma. If it was just leather w/o the scales, then I would say button. However I think the preservation of the scales weighs on the snap side.

Here is a tourmaline button with mule deer leather. A foraging bag I made a while back.

The last photo has a beaded patch that I added to cover the bullet hole. ✊🏽🫶🏽

I think I'm going to go with a button & loop rather than a button hole... I'm obsessing over the bone button idea & I'm probably going to end up on a fun side quest of making buttons out of sun bleached deer antler 🥲😂

I think cloth takes a button, and leathers take a snap. A button can wear down the scales in it's immediate touch zone. The snap will help preserve your scales.

Hmmm... you bring up an interesting point there. 🤔

Indeed, I just checked and you can get normal shaped buttons carved from bone and horn as well. I was only thinking of the long type with one hole but fully normal butthons... out of animal also...

Dawn 2y ago

Sticking with the animal theme would be awesome. The horn type might blend in too much. Bone would stand out more. The hook type buttons I have are metal but they look ok with it.

I think I'll see if I can track down a bone one locally. I really like that concept.

Bone button, those long kind. With a leather loop holding it.

Dawn 2y ago

I like that idea

I always think cuffs demand snaps 🤷‍♀️

Button would look cool. So many button choices.

Dawn 2y ago

That's what I was thinking.

snap

Dawn 2y ago

That's my first inclination too but buttons are prettier 😂

Snake skin & suede cuff bracelet... should it close with a button or a snap? 🤔

Nice 👌

My numbers are way way higher 😅

Dawn 2y ago

I have a feeling most are. The pricing & availability make it difficult to break away. I've been adamant about minimizing, often paying more & waiting longer to buy locally or direct from seller. What I did order was mostly things that I should have been able to buy locally but couldn't find... particular water filters, light bulbs, and the like...and a couple less pragmatic things.

I also closed my PayPal account this year. 🥳😂

Dawn 2y ago

I have ordered from amazon a mere 12 times all year. I feel like there is a flex in there somewhere 😁😂

I’ll get Sunday and Monday off this week. A little reprieve before the last push.
