Oh man, I see that too now! Is it the freckles? I used thin guage copper wire to make the overall strap attachments, but I put a little too much pressure on one of them while trying to work on her and it snapped off. That showed me it wasn't a long-term practical idea. I could have really super glued the hell out of it I suppose, but then it would just be a lump of glue and wire, so I decided to just paint them on.

I've found with wire on plastic it's best to drill holes where you want it to start and stop, then either force in or glue in the wire. it gives the detail of the wire laying there but is strong enough to handle. I thought you just used metal for a buckle, kind of sitting on the strap.

i'm trying to think of where I used the technique I described to show you. coming up blank at the moment, but here is a figure with lots of wire(naked twist tie) just pressure fit in drilled holes, plus wire pierced chest.

I think I get the gist of the method you speak of, and I could have done that I suppose.
