I tried Googling “harpy”, but that didn’t go anywhere. Then I Googled “u-shaped ring with pin” and it came right up as “anchor shackles”. Thanks robots! (and the people and infrastructure that made them possible)
I found them locally at craft stores … the harpy shackle pieces were 50% off at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry/bead section and the Sam Browne buttons at Michaels in their very little leather section.
I went in thinking it would be a breeze couple rectangle and circles … then I realized I had to measure things and the thickness of the leather matters and placement of the holes … I just want to make pretty things why do I have to do math
A great resource for leather supplies here in Western WA (Olympia/Thurston County) is Shipwreck Beads. Warning: it is a HUGE warehouse with tons of stuff for beading (it’s easy to spend way too much time and money there). They’ve got a decent section of leather supplies, all kinds of buckles, tools, findings, etc.
We were going to check out MacPherson, but they are closed on Sundays… so we might have to check them out another weekend. This weekend is pretty busy though with the NW Chocolate Festival!
