Actually, it's colorful braided sleeving product for cable harnesses, among other uses. (Here's the link to the product if you're curious.) The product is made from PET plastic, the same material many plastic containers are made from.
“I know he's around,
When the sky and the ground start in ringing.
I know that he's near,
By the thunder I hear in advance.
His words, his words alone,
Are the words that can start my heart singing,
And his is the only music that makes me dance.”
Lyrics from “The Music That Makes Me Dance” written by Bob Merrill and Jule Styne from the musical “Funny Girl” (1960).
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 6th of June is "musical instruments", and when I read the theme, the lyrics from the Broadway musical “Funny Girl”, based on the life of American comedienne and singer Fanny Brice, written to showcase singer and actress, Barbra Streisand’s vocal and comedic talents, came to mind. I happened to have a still life that I think is suitable for the theme already: one featuring a pair of rather eccentric designer shoes and a violin borrowed from a musician friend of mine. In order to highlight the beautiful instrument, I have processed the photo in selective colour. As “The Music That Makes Me Dance” is a romantic song about unrequited love, I decided to leave the pink roses in the still life in colour as well. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
The shoes that feature in this still life are stilettos from the 1950s in pristine condition. The heel pads are leather, whilst the toe of the shoes are bleached snakeskin hand painted with black dots and finished with a black grosgrain ribbon.
The purse in the foreground is a hand beaded example from the late 1910s to early 1920s, made of black faceted jet beads.
The glasses on the tray are faceted crystal from the 1930s, whilst the decanter of port is from the late Victorian era. The soda syphon is from the 1920s. The silver tray and lidded silver serving dish are late Victorian.
Macro Mondays: Junk
Found down the road this summer and temporarily stored on my dresser, this is undoubtably an item most people would throw away. ...But as they say, one 'man's' junk is another's treasure.
A garter snake's cast off skin or molt. [Probably the Western Terrestrial Garter Snake (Thamnophis elegans)].

Cable harness sleeving, living up to its snake metaphor in many ways. Not only does it look snake-like, it also expands like one when full of something larger than its normal size.
The sleeve shown here (the same product used earlier this year in a different context) is a little over ½" (12.6mm) wide in its rolled-up flat state; it is stretched to about its maximum by the object* captured in its meshy embrace.
*A 15mm (0.59") socket wrapped in yellow tape.

I've just planted one of these plants in the garden, but I have to confess that until a couple of weeks ago I had never seen one before.
[Update] Thanks to Eden Bromfield for the identification - Snakeskin Liverwort!
OK. More slightly away from my norm again... I was walking back down the Big Creek trail with my buddy Tommy White, pretty far up (we had went the whole 5 miles up), when I noticed the rock wall next to the trail had the oddest texture. When I looked closer, it had this ridiculously intricate lichen, I think, growing all over it. I had carried my macro lens for just this occasion, hoping I'd spot something a bit unique, a little extra weight, but worth it I think. I'd love to know if this is really lichen or not, or what kind. I hope everyone's having a great weekend!!

Amanita ceciliae, commonly called snakeskin grisette and strangulated amanita, is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus Amanita. First described in 1854 by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Christopher Edmund Broome, it was given its current name by Cornelis Bas in 1984. It is characterized by bearing a large fruit body with a brown cap 5–12 cm (2.0–4.7 in) across. The cap has charcoal-grey patches, which are easily removable. The stipe is 7–18 cm (2.8–7.1 in) long, white in colour, and there is no ring on it. It is slightly tapered to the top, and has irregular cottony bands girdling the base. The universal veil is grey. Spores are white, spherical in shape, non-amyloid, and measure 10.2–11.7 micrometres. The mushrooms are considered edible, but field guides typically advise caution in selecting them for consumption, due to risks of confusion with similar toxic species. A. ceciliae is found in woods throughout Europe and North America, where it fruits during summer and autumn. Quoted from Wikipedia.
A backlit reel of 16mm film, its sprocket holes showing a kind of snakeskin effect, although not as distinctive as with 35mm film.
The waviness, although in keeping with the Wavy Lines theme, is, sadly, one artifact of vinegar syndrome, a form of decomposition named after the strong, distinctive odor of acetic acid, a key ingredient in vinegar among other uses. As the film deteriorates, it shrinks and warps, ultimately to the point where the film can no longer run through a projector. While methods exist to slow the decay process, no recognized method exists to rejuvenate VS-infected acetate film.

As they grow, snakes need a bigger skin, so they shed the old one to make room for the new. I could not figure out what kind of snake abandoned this skin, since it lacked any pattern of color.
We found a rattle snakeskin today, almost full length intact. Here is a small section of it showing the cellophane-like skin.

Snakeskin Brownie, and older set of fungi, in a completely different place and time, showing how they mature.
Here is a better look at the Rattle Snakeskin we found. He's about 18" long and a little twisted up. Near the bottom of the screen is his head. You can see it has well-defined almost geometric scale shapes and structure. One of its eye sockets is clearly visible.
This is stacked, 150 shots to almost get the entire skin in focus

35mm trailers tightly wound on a core, lit from below and shot at an angle. The pattern arising from the refraction of the sprocket holes is quite unique.

A first for me. A Snakeskin Brownie found in Sphagnum moss growing alongside conifer woodland in KIelder Forest, Northumberland.
bought a book on fungi so having a stab at naming some but I am no expert so feel free to put me right
