Need help IDing some netting used for masking/patterns?

[justinyattaw1]

Hey, guys.

There's a pretty talented artist on Facebook whose work I follow and after seeing some of the results she achieved, I asked what she used to mask off the area, and she replied with this picture.

Unfortunately, there's a bit of a language barrier, and it's kind of hit or miss on whether we understand one another, so I figured someone here may know?

The item in question is shown in the pic below. It's some sort of fine mesh. I've tried tulle with very poor success, so I don't think that's what it is.

Any ideas?

just looks like a piece of mesh cloth that was cut to size.

But how does it help mask off an area with holes in it? Unless you are using it for a pattern.

[justinyattaw1]

No, it is, I'll have to edit the topic title.

When you spray through it, you get a really fine patterning that looks great for a ton of different effects.

I've tried to find mesh netting and cloth that's similar but just haven't had any luck.

fabric or craft store. I include a piece of black just like this with my Tank Girl kit. Great for fish net stockings.

yeah then this would be your best bet!

Got thrown off when you mentioned it was for masking.

Thanks for the responses, guys! I'll check Jo-Ann Fabrics or something, see what turns up.

Jo-Ann Fabrics is where I buy mine. Just tell them you are looking for a "very tight" fishnet. Sell it by the yard.

It's called tuule- used for wedding veils and the like.

[justinyattaw1]

Yeah, like I said in the original post, that's what I thought it was, too, but it just doesn't work for what I'm trying to do. It's too light and just gets blown all over when I spray over it. Or maybe the stuff I got off Amazon is just wicked cheap, I dunno. When I used it, it didn't do what I was going for. I was looking for an effect like the eye on the piece below, but I got a mess, lol

If you want a good hexagonal mask - suggest you try the ones made by anarchy models.

They come in different sizes in fine latex, work great for models.

Hold it in place by masking around with Silly Putty.
