Ohmygosh! Thank you, Karen! How could I forget something so basic? (Nobody say a WORD about age, got it??  bear_grin  bear_rolleyes  bear_whistle )

Thanks for the reply, Rodriguez--but what I'm looking for is not an applied substance like paint or dye. The process takes regular acrylic fur like this:

and turns it into a shaggy stringy looking fur, like this:

Does anyone know and/or remember how to do this?

Thanks in advance!  bear_flower

Hi,
Several years ago, I knew how to process regular, longish acrylic fur to make it become "stringy"--but I have misplaced the directions. Does this ring a bell with anyone? It makes it look similar to other "sparse" furs both natural and synthetic. Thanks in advance for any help with this "lost art" bear_grin
