Muppet Fur is what I call the currently popular Acrylic furlike fiber. Some folks call it Teddy Bear, some folks call it eyelash. LONG URL... but this gives the texture. The lining I used is in black. Got the fabric for a steal from my local shop. The texture approximates the look in the portrait, and seeing as this project was just for fun, I went with the Muppet. :>
