I'm a guy and I made a seat, so maybe it was me. Here's a pic of the seat with the lizard print. I used cotton fabric that did not drape too well over the curved surface of the mold. I had to cut in a couple of strategic darts to get the stuff to wrap around. I applied the fabric as the first layer on the mold with glass behind for rigidity. Right now, there's only the epoxy/varnish on the face of the seat that is protecting the fabric. I may add a protective layer of light glass to keep from abrading through to the fabric, but so far it still looks good.
