  • Thanks! Time is quite hard to estimate as they are all experiments in different techniques, the bigger cuffs take a lot longer just because of all the edge finishing and stitching. Some were probably about 4-6 hours.

    The blue one was fun, I should make more and it was actually really fast. Its a ‘mystery braid’ bracelet, so named because it is done without any cuts in the leather. Probably one of the fastest things to make as it is just a simple strip, 3 cuts and a fastener. Most of the time was spent watching how to do the braid and how to get the right measurement. I think it took around an hour to make but it would be much easier and faster the more you make.

    It strikes me as extremely stereotypically american and to be honest I’ve never really understood it. To me a name seems such a big part of being an individual that to have the same as a parent seems a little odd - and it always seems to be for men and not women. It also makes me think of rich white oil barons, like Dallas, a very nouveau riche thing to do and maybe a little pretentious.

    The main thing i would be concerned of is if there or may be two sons, will the non-inherited name child think they are somehow lesser? Would it create some resentment?

    Sharing generational middle names is a thing here but I can’t say I’m personally a fan of doing it for first names.

    Thats not to say I don’t find it quite impressive you have already got the counter to 4 or that it is some awful thing like calling your child something stupid or unpronounceable, you know better than an internet stranger in that regard.
