Prop in Progress

A vintage "microphone" in the making.

 

Not made to be photographed close up, and not yet finished (the base is only there so I can get this shot) - I must say I'm rather pleased with it.

 

This is a rather strange fabric - a vaguely-glittery fine mesh attached to a sturdy black backing fabric.

 

I have NO idea what someone would do with it, as though it drapes well, it's not really "pretty" and is very heavy.

 

But it screamed "fine metal mesh" to me when I saw it in the remnant bin, and I picked it up for a song.

 

It is sewn over a framework circlet of sewn together pieces of plastic canvas mesh.

 

Yes, it's taken me more time than it's probably worth, but in person, and at a distance, it's actually rather nice looking.

 

Autotags: "electronics" - well the bots were fooled!
