You think I'm kidding, but I just got dsl at home a year and a half ago. No worries Mike, now that I know what the product is and that it works, I can amazon it! My backlog is so ludicrous, I'd be lucky if it wasn't a solid brick by the time I got it made.

BTW, just so everyone knows modge podge is in my opinion only good for ripple effects. It is a think paste that would look awkward as standing water. Water effects first then modge podge layer you can be stippled on or applied with a tooth pick. I'll show a step by step when the time comes

It looks good, but, It doesnt "behave" like real wire mesh. So therefore there's an oddness about it. if that makes sense?

Looks lovely but just a quick piece of input: Did you remove any of the metal from the mesh? If so would it be lying on the ground or nearby?

I like the idea of it blowing out verses in. The bent metal grate is the interesting focal point, not the hole. So you are hiding the cool bit which would have the most interesting paint on it.

Yes, but the flocking isn't dry yet so debris is coming soon.

Well the wire I'm using is incredibly sharp. I am concerned that it would be a safety hazard. I cut myself while I was building it and it's worse then a paper cut


Also great idea for the windows! I have a ton of then if you want them I'll send them to you free?!
