E. MagnussonI had a vision, of having little wire wrapped clasps for my folk costume projects. As soon as I got home I made some.
These are called maljor in Swedish, and they’re used to lace upp bodices in the folk costume world. I don’t know that wire wrapping is common, mostly it’s pewter or silver casts. But we do have a folkloric tradition of wire work, called luffarslöjd - hobo crafting. With how many different folklore versions that have existed I can’t think this is the strangest there’s ever been. Hell, I even saw someone doing beer can tabs as maljor last week. Creativity, baby!
