Plastic does not blend well with a natural material like leather. The two energies clashes against one an other. When you intertwine plastic into the leather you break this beautiful aura emitted by the leather. Linen will instead amplify it.

This short article will explain in more details:

In my beginnings I was using linen until I switched to polyester. I used it for a while out of convenience but I always knew something wasn't quite right. I knew polyester wasn't "real thread". I think I could feel it wasn't supposed to be mixed with leather.

I'm glad you asked

Love this.

In my experience, the plastic always gives out before the leather does, often ruining the piece. One could get these things fixed, or you could simply purchase quality in the first place.

My recent experiment involved using this leather alternative (grown from reishi mushrooms) as a drum head.

It's developed by a company called Mycoworks and they didn't tell me that it's embedded with a linen weave, but that makes sense, and it turned out to be a good thing, because although reishi is quite tough, it ain't quite rawhide, in terms of tensile strength.

But having the weave seems to help it pass muster and produce a pleasing drum sound which is like no other. The first test drum ripped a little, the second did not. They both sound great, and the aura of each feels really nice.

Thanks for sharing your interesting note.

I bought mushroom leather a while back. I don't remember the name but I remember the smell. It was horrible to be honest. Very strong and nasty smell. I never used it. I wonder if yours is like that too.

Reishi mushroom 'leather' drums.

You used aura and feeling in your description. I've been working on my meditation and prayerfully connecting and listening to God. I think aura is interesting and may have been co-opted by new age types but I think feeling, intuition, and aura are real things that can be equated to the Holy Spirit if we know how to slow down and listen. It's cool when gut feelings are "confirmed" by science.
