Title: Anyone have a supplier of artificial snake skin?
Post by: justsomeguytn on October 30, 2008, 08:55:26 AM
I need some fake snake or other lizard skin in a medium blue and white for a puppet.  It would be nice if the material had alot of stretch too.

Tandy leather has some cool stuff, not quite what I was looking for.  However I might buy something from them to make a pouch sometime.

Umm, yeah I don't think the shed skins would work.  Unless I could make a mold from them and inject latex or something. ;D
