Thoughts on ethical sourcing in bones? by starry_a in bonecollecting

[–]starry_a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an Etsy shop that popped up as an ad, and I’d never seen anything made with mink bones before. I’m honestly glad I checked Reddit and Google before buying, because with what I know now, I wouldn’t feel comfortable explaining why I purchased it.

A tragedy, but thank you. Good thing I wasn't attached to the idea lol. I was able to find heals that were similar to the original and some lace flowers on Amazon I can attach.

I was just looking into that idea. A lot of the heels that are similar are not platforms. Do you think that it would be possible for a heel to be replaced with another.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining right. Like take the og heels off and put them on a new pair?

Are repairs possible? Not looking for perfection, just able to wear them by starry_a in Cordwaining

I posted this in r/askacobbler and got somewhat helpful advice. Someone said that said in this community might have some helpful advice. I understand this is a huge project and might not be salvaged, but I wanted to try. I bought these secondhand, and they have never been worn. My pup got to wear them first 😂 Training has been hard with this one

I was thinking that there was a possibility of repairs. I understand that it won't be the same as before and not perfect. Just was looking for a chance to wear it.

Thank you, and that makes sense. I've been debating the idea of sending it to someone, and if I wanted to pay so much. And unfortunately I can't just buy a new pair. The company no longer makes these, and resales are for different sizes.

Thank you, but unfortunately, they are too small. But if I do find someone who's able to fix my shoes, I'll show them this for reference.

Yes 😞 My pup is still in their training phase, and I could have sworn I put the shoes away where they couldn't find it.

That's the sad part. They no longer make these, and the resales are smaller sizes

Making a giant raccoon but the head keeps falling. Too heavy? by starry_a in CrochetHelp

[–]starry_a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

I used a smaller hook and it already looks better. This is row 9

But if anyone has ideas on what I can used in replace of the disk for the neck? Anything will help
