Faux Snakeskin on Sale

There are two bolts of snakeskin at my local Arthur Toyes: quite lightweight, on a stretchy foundation. One’s black, one is a sort of old gold. It’s lovely, and it’s going for $7/m.

Is anyone interested in getting some? First come, first served. I have no idea how long it will stay in stock, so order sooner rather than later, 'kay?

Cheers,

Cat

Oooo, yes please. For that, I would say that I would like 5 meters of each if that’s possible.

I haves me an idea…

My first thought was “oh, cool!”.

Then I thought “wait, what are you going to use it for…”

Drawing a blank. But still very tempted. Will get back to you.

Catherine, just so I’m not assuming… Are you offering to get the material for us, or do we need to ring them ourselves?

Just checking…

Ok never mind. Ants has seen the stuff in his local Arthur toyes and it doesn’t sound like what I was thinking of.

So none for me please.

Unless the stuff you have looks like a light leather kind of thing.

There’s a fabric store in New Lynn that had lightweight, leather-look snakeskin last time I was there, but it was pretty pricey. We can swing by tomorrow if you want to take a gander.

Oh :frowning:

I just had the most awful moment of -sad-. I was about to type “Oh we MUST go to the fabric store in Onehunga I wanted to take you to because it’s full of all sorts of delicious trims and embelishments that’b be perfect for Marcus.”

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

(We could go there anyway - it’s pretty neat!)

It looks like light leather; it’s quite stretchy. I think its gorgeous; I just have a rule about buying stuff when my fabric stash is full.

If you’re still in, I can pick some up tomorrow.

Hmmm… If you’re satisfied that it looks pretty good and like a light leather, rather than cloth showing with a pattern printed onto it, then it sounds like something I would like… Or at least want to have a go with.

However, do you reckon the gold stuff would take coloring of some sort to dull it down? Like a vinyl paint or something?

If it would, then yes, I’d like the 5 meters mentioned. Otherwise, no, not the gold stuff…

Thank you!

The old gold is pretty dull already. Just to clarify:

If they don’t have a full five metres, would you like as much as they have?
Do you want just the old gold, or some of the black as well?

It’s the black I’m most interested in. So yeah up to 5m of that.

And then some of the gold.

Thanks.

Target acquired.

Would you like me to mail it right away (a hefty-ish package), or wait until someone is heading down to Wellington to ferry it?

Someone ferrying it is just fine.

Thank you.

Fling me your bank account details and I’ll get you the money.

Details in your pm box.

hmmm is there any black left?

Might be. If there is, how much would you like?

2 metres

Done. Could you pm me a snail-mail address? Price is $14 + whatever postage is.

Cheers.
