TigerLily Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Greetings, I have been working with leather for several years now, but only from a sculptural aspect, as in masks and experimenting with various ways to mold or carve the leather. So, when it comes to all of the tools, sizing and technical side of things, I'm very lost. Any information on this subject would be very apprecitaed. Right now, I have a project where I need to create an octopus mask and would like to use various sized studs for the "suction cups" on the mask. I found the perfect type of studs I would like to use while searching google below: Can anyone tell me what type of studs these are and where I may find them? The various sizes and types are perfect for what I'm looking for. Thank you so much in advance for any help or suggestions! -Lily Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pennypower Report post Posted April 8, 2013 Hi there! I'm new here so probably not much help. I live in L.A. and I've found several stores that sell hardware like this downtown in the fashion district. I don't know where you live but you might be able to find a local shop that sells this kind of stuff, especially if there is a fashion industry there. Otherwise, you can definetly get this kind of hardware online. But there is nothing like holding it in your hands first, but that's not always possible. If I come accross a good website I'll let you know. I've been looking for one ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
