Going to make my first 'antique style' bear. Before I make the first 'cut'  I want to gather all the tips and information available from  "experienced EXPERTS" as possible. I've searched the archives a bit and havent found what I'm looking for. Tips on making mohair bears look "antique old". What do you do to the mohair to give it that antique - been loved and passed down from great grandmother look ?

Thank you.

if you use the black glass eyes, spend a little time to sand it with an emery board for a matt bootbutton effect, looks great!
