It seems to me that maybe a reflection map might work with the right sort of small twilled texture. Somewhere in the back of my mind is a gold lame that someone did. Now-- there is a painted sort of satiny dress texture that someone did (Tygerland strikes me right off) that might give you ideas for it--it was quite successful--I'll have to look for the dress texture--might be in Freestuff and it was for the halter top dress I believe. I have a digital camera but no lame to photograph--LOL--otherwise I would do it gladly. I bet Rena could give you a good idea for this--or might even have such a fabric in her repetoire. Diane
