Anthony,
Too funny! And, fair enough. ;-)
I have now already stolen some hair from the tail of one of my
medium- haired cats, a Turkish Van, the "Swimming Cat" of Turkey.
Poor cat: she is a pure-breed show-cat, and I took two square
hunks of long fur from her tail. She looks a bit funny: "bobbed".
But I do not "show" her. All I show her... is love.
But soon maybe I can show some paintings with details made with a
homemade script-liner brush from her tail feathers... tail fur, that is. The
fur is really too delicate for a good brush, even for a
script-liner. I'll have to use only the *thinnest* of thinned paint
for it to be useful at all. Inky-thin, and then some.
Nice Auburn hair from her tail. The brush looks like a Red Sable.
But more floppy.
Rabbit fur after all might be too floppy, too. You're safe.
--Joe
PS I have put the cat hair into brush ferrules which had the hair
destroyed by moths (eaten, totally). And then replaced the ferrule
back onto the wood brush handle. Yes!, even in the dry desert,
moth larvae infestations can be a problem. I now have a way of
dealing with them. They had also been destructive here in the past
to the horsehair on my 'cello and violin bows. A fragment of a
moth-ball in a sealed container protects the bows, and the brushes.
The moth balls are smelly, but you don't need MUCH at any time, if
the containers seal tightly. The crystal evaporates directly into
air (sublimes), from solid to gas state, without becoming liquid.
The material is para-dichloro-benzene.
> My fur is not for sale when alive. When dead, it will be too deteriorated.
> Please go somewhere else, sorry.
