Can you identify the yellow and brown material I'm using in this respirator?=============================================
=============================================
The Answer:
Thanks to everyone who participated. It was kind of a trick question. The name of my blog is Leather and Resin Projects, so of course, this material is one of those. It is in fact leather.
This is one of the masks that I'm making for the film After The Fall, and this section is supposed to be a herringbone twill fabric. I decided the simplest way to accomplish that was to paint the leather parts yellow, and laser engrave the twill pattern (which turns the leather brown). I was pleased with how much it does look like fabric—thus my post and question—to see how easy it was to identify.
Part of a basketball?

Good guess, but not part of a basketball. Anyone else want to give it a shot?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the grill off of a Fender amp, maybe?
ReplyDeleteI think it may be the brim of an Irish Herringbone Hat, or the inside of a tennis ball?
ReplyDeleteWow, some very creative guesses, but no one's got it yet.
ReplyDeleteI think the material is semi-rigid and rubberized, because it seems to have not freyed edges as fabric would. I keep thinking some part of a boot or tennis shoe, but I can't place the part. And I can't find it on Google. I think it is rubber with a sandwhiching a a fabric lining. Is this a common house hold item or is it a more rare item?
ReplyDeleteDang - you had everybody fooled, Tom ;D
