rnrkid thanks for posting your thread. Had to laugh tho. Those Darn black cats don't ever cooperate when you want them too......
Scrim is fun...hallorenescene I think you have a good idea there. Could be magic ! lol

Cool! Let me know if you need any help. I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this, but I got the fabric from Fabricguru.com. They're not a sponsor, but not really Halloween either so it should be okay

It's funny. My wife has spent the last 3 years trying to pose the cat (Koshka) in a spontaneous Halloween pic. If it had worked I would post it here...but as you can see...not so much She just happened to be hiding under the fabric so I took a quick video. That's why it's so crappy.

cylon, i take it you have worked with this material before? what have you used it for?
rnr, i don't think you will get in trouble for posting any resources, i think you just get in trouble if you are selling and keep hitting up people to buy. don't take this for gospel though but i think i am right. anyway, thanks for the resource. i would probably go to wal mart, then hobby lobby, then joannes fabrics first.
i do like working with material. i went to a play called godspell, and one called jesus christ superstar. they were fantastic. for the resurrection of christ they had 3 people get into this stretchy material and stretch out in different directions at the same time. it was cool. i talked to the drama coach and he said go to a material store and ask for swim suit material. i got some gray and some black. i sewed the gray up with a velcro opening and had a 6 ft. guy and his son inside. they were men that looked at medusa and got turned to stone. as the tot got close they would stretch their hands out at them. then with the black i velcroed around a doorframe and around the material and had the room dark enough and as the tot went past the door two hands stretched out in the material and grabbed at the kids. it was pretty creepy and fun.

Wow, I didn't think swim suit material would have the right properties for that. Good to know it works, though. Let me know how it works out for you.
