BabyDoll asked this question on the artcone forums: …working on a black light special F/X project, & need a type of material. Here’s what I’m doing: I have built a posterboard framework, big enough to fit in an average-sized window; the window itself, is covered in a black felt material, and framed by curtains. Strung vertically across the framework, are 3 layers of black nylon thread, w/each layer an inch apart, and each thread length 1/2 inch apart from each other. On each layer of threads, I am affixing glow-in-the-dark stars, eyes, whatever, with the larger ones on the front layer, and the smaller ones, progressively back. When I shine a black light on this for a short period, this will, of course create an eerie 3-D effect.

…looking for material, kinda like the stuff used to make woman’s stockings, to cover the front of the framework, so that in normal light, the illusion will be just (or almost) blackness, but when the black light is introduced, the glow-in-the-dark material will shine through.

…any ideas???
