Having not seen your necklace, I assume it broke at the clasp or the jump ring that holds the clasp. Most chains I have fixed for people broke there. While there's a lot of reasons chains are built that way, having a designated weak point is certainly one of them.

My recent favourite I borrowed from tiktokker kellykozzy, but it's brought me nothing but pain since I heard it, so I'll share it here:

What would Obama say if he were a turtle whose home was being repossessed?

I forgot my alt text. It's a photo of pot of pepper plants that are well over a metre tall and taken over my apartment.

I always recommend starting with Animated Knots by Grog.

It doesn't have everything, but it's super easy to follow and a great way to lose an afternoon.

I haven't sold many of these through my website, but if anyone out there has one, feel free to weigh in. I'd be most curious how it stacks up to other stichless wallets people have seen or owned.

Personally, it's my favourite wallet I've ever made, but admittedly, that's not a very big pool.

A fold deepened along the interior spine early on, but cutting that section away makes the wallet too floppy. Overall, I'm happy with this design and mostly want to try it in more leathers to see how it changes the fold. It can be unfolded for care and cleaning, but it doesn't seem to need it yet.

For a wallet with no stitches, everything seems to have stayed in place well. The center seems to lift more if a lot of bills are carried. There were 8 cards: one in each slot with 4 tucked away (see the green corner). The cards aren't showing unusual wear, hopefully meaning they have enough space.

The leather has begun to patinate beautifully. While I feel the embossed logo I used is a little small for this wallet, the imprint is still deep and clear. The edges are holding up well and still sit square. The corners are not splayed, and there's no signs of unfolding: important with no stitches

I don't think I have any unique obstacles, just things that are new to me. Such as what's the best way to show off a board game to a publisher when you live in north-central Alberta and can't afford to travel? Do I want to self-publish? At what point does a self-published game count as published?

I'm working on a second prototype that will look closer to how I imagine the final version. Acrylic dice, playmat board, 3d printed bikes of I can swing it. I'm refining the rules and finding people to playtest.

The design part makes sense to me. It's the stuff after that that gets a bit arcane.
