looks great. What did you use to color the bevels?

They're Crescent Brite-Core mats.

Very nice design – elegant and whimsical at the same time!
But have you been contacted by PETA, yet? How many Muppets were skinned during the construction of the liner?

Come on Bill, can you ever skin enough muppets?

That is fun. Was it harder to mount than other fabrics(it is fabric, right??!?)? Do you think their friends ask what they had to cough up for that one?

In this case I used an end-wrap rather than a continuous wrap because of a limited amount of available fabric. There were two issues that were a little more troublesome than normal fabric. First, because of the thickness of the fur it was a little more challenging to get a tight accurate join after wrapping. Second was ensuring that there were no bits of fur that were going to drop off after assembly. Other than it was pretty much the same as any other hand wrap. Probably the biggest challenge was just deciding what I was going to do when she dropped off a bag of bits and asked me to "do something fun".
This particular client seems to be "coughing up" quite a lot at the moment ... massive remodel, brand new SL500, and buying a new commercial building here in rather pricey OC. So I think the frame was just a tiny drop in the bucket!

Well, very nice Andrew. It looked like a challenging wrap. & I'm sure you supplied them with a complimentry comb.

Be sure to "get yours while the getting is good" before the law shows up!
Very nice job, Andrew!
