Why don't you just give us pictures and specifics on the set. When you said fake wall I was assuming this was like a 4'x6' wall on wheels or something. Now that you say that and I look at it, wow. The white "moulding" really adds. I'm interested in how this was done if you don't mind sharing.

I would have thought it was bigger than that. Hummm may have to think about this one.
To clean the felt do you just throw it in the wash? I would assume it would fall apart after a few washes.

nope is just the size of plywood which is what is attached to.
I haven;t tried washing the felt.. what I ended up risking and washing was the big pink drop that you can see on those pics.. heheh I just put on delicate and is drying in my dinning room which is honestly almost all dry I will roll it up in about 10 mins to get rid of wrinkles for tomorrows shoot.
