I have had a piece of Tissavel sable synthetic fur in my stash for the past three years, but haven't had the courage to cut into it. I finally took the plunge and made a lifesize hare from it using taxidermy glass eyes. He has a double-neck joint, jointed rear legs and wired front legs. This may be the last time I use synthetic fur. I think I may be allergic to it!
Oh he's fabulous, well done!
ReplyDeleteDon't necessarily write off all faux fur just yet. I was horribly allergic to one piece, but have been fine with others, I think it depends on what chemicals they use to finish it - I strongly suspect the one I was allergic to had had lanolin applied to it, which I know I'm allergic to - it's a natural softener, hence wool is lovely and soft. Maybe see if you can feel some other pieces?
Wow look at him. His fur is gorgeous. It looks perfect for a real rabbit. I love the first picture of him looking at the camera, he really looks like he is looking.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the allergy. I have had many pieces of beautiful faux fur in my possession over the years, but truly I am a natural fabric person myself. I'm sure it won't hurt too much to stick to the mohair and the alpaca.
aww...he's a cute bunny! =)
ReplyDeleteThat face is as cute as my raccoon, Sue! I love him!!

Oops! I meant to say the real raccoon that visits my deck, but I expect you realized that!
ReplyDeleteI love how you photographed the bunny "in the wild." Great picture!
