Penny,
Panty hose nylon is murder to put hairpins through, and hatpins would
just run it. Then there's the color issue already mentioned. I should
think almost anything else would work better.
I would despair of ever getting a cover to match my own hair, which is
now available in grayscale only (multiple shades) . . . :)
Wondering out loud though. I might try some of that product that's
designed to make fabric out of threads- it has some proprietary name I
can't recall. Not Stitch-n-tear. . . sheesh. . .
Ennyhow-- I'd try that, laying hair randomly across it and then fusing
it. I think what's left is designed to wash out?? Somebody help me out
here. Kayta? Do you recall the product name? It seems as if it might
be ideal to contain your own hair, and would be made _from_ your own
hair.
== Marjorie Wilser (who'd go try it if there were a full-service
fabric store in town!!)

Someone in another post mentioned hair receptacle. I purchased an
antique ceramic hair receptacle a few months ago at an estate sale.
I have no idea how old it is. It is in two pieces that are donut
shaped they sit one upon the other. I have been collecting hair
after washing my hair and brushing my hair the putting it in the
hair receptacle. I have also collected my hair after having it
trimmed. It has taken me a couple of months to fill the
receptacle. I am surprised how quickly it filled up.
Now, for making the rat...would it work best to place the hair in
panty hose before using it in my hair?
