Oye les et

Est-ce que vous pourriez m'indiquer s'il existe des fermoirs de ce genre mais en caoutchouc ou silicone (ou autres matériaux ?)
Encore mieux si végétal, écolo friendly

En tout cas une matière qui absorbe les vibrations (donc pas de métal, ou autre matériaux "durs")

Genre si je met les fermoir de la photo sur un piano = ça va vibrer et faire "bzzzz" pendant le jeu
En caoutchouc ça absorbe et donc c'est silencieux
(C'est pour indiquer mon besoin au mieux mais c'est clairement pas l'objectif, d'en mettre sur un piano)

This is one of two pieces I created for the DIY Show "Uncommon Threads" many years ago. I demonstrated the steps for piecing the 3d roses for the topiary. That was a fun experience!

Available on my Etsy shop. Thank you for boosting artists!

LB: if you buy from Etsy, which sucks and is pretty hostile to the creatives who sell on the site, please consider using https://artisans.coop instead. It’s a co-op in the truest sense of the term, in that the organization is run and governed by the artists on the platform. Spread the word!

Varanasi’s Muslim Silk-Weavers Battle Mechanisation, Communalism and Politics

The absence of opportunities and a documented fall in handloom work has pushed many to move to other textile hubs.

Implementation of the Indigenous Languages Act is critical to turning the tide on the continued loss of Indigenous languages in Canada, but that means money must be found to support community efforts to revitalize language, said the first ever Indigenous languages commissioner Ron E. Ignace.

And he says it requires an all-of-government approach, not in a silo under Canadian Heritage.

The craft of knitting Cowichan sweaters is handed down through the generations in First Nations families on Vancouver Island, BC.

Having to sell the sweaters at wholesale prices to shops that mark up the retail cost by hundreds of dollars has led to an initiative called Knit With Purpose to deal direct with buyers and give knitters a fair wage for their time and expertise.

Hey all, I'd just like to share this article from the about a new bill that just passed in the US, the . It's extremely relevant to any on here who sell or intend to sell their and wares, especially if you've been affected by 's rampant dishonest reseller problem.

https://indiesellersguild.org/a-bill-to-crack-down-on-resellers/

The ISG doesn't have a Mastodon established (yet) but I think folks over at @coopartisans might also be interested in sharing this information. Otherwise, uh... just... follow them too, and consider joining! Both organizations are good.

An excerpt from the link:

"Brian Conlan – Deputy Legislative Director from the office of Senator Tammy Baldwin – reached out to us to ask if we would support a new bill – the COOL Online Act. The bill requires products posted online from sellers in the US to display which country they were made in, much like products in US stores display the same “made in” labeling. In other words, a legal requirement for resellers to admit that their products are mass-produced overseas!"

Humankind needs to scale back to the days before the Industrial Revolution.

"But where will I do my shopping?"

The Internet, you'll discover, is full of artisans making everything from shoes to kitchen wares, all from recycled and sustainable materials.

It's the same with food. Buy locally from eco-friendly farms and avoid fast-food restaurants that use ingredients of unknown origins.

Really, there's no need to further enrich greedy corporations that make the world a crappy place.
