handbag frame hinges...
I am designing a line of handbags that will use resin cast frames/handles
as the chief feature....I make the original out of polymer clay, make an rtv mold and cast resin so it looks kind of like ivory or bakelite...here is my problem....I like the simplicity of making a one part mold with the focus on the sculpted area but that eliminates the ability for me to make the pivoting area on both sides from the one piece mold...so I thought if I could find a place that made the small pivoting components that you see "shoved into" old celluloid or bakelite bags that would work....alas, I don't even know what they are called, never mind who makes them... In case I haven't made it clear, if you look at a let's say a metal purse frame...it opens and closes by means of a small pivoting hinge type part the is kept in place with a small rivet or pin.... Anyone have a clue on locating a source for these? thanks Lauren |
