They were the bane of mine too! I tried so many different ways to get them to look realistic. I discovered doing it this way you can make them as thick or thin as you require so it suits any animal 😊
Gai Button I made a whole bunch today and they’re so awesome I redid my cat picture, its brilliant and worked perfectly. I used PVA and its perfect. Thank you so much for this.
Hello Anna, I posted the short tutorial because I had been asked several times how I made whiskers, I hope it helped. I listen to what people want to see so ideas are always welcome. Thank you for taking the time to write.
Thank you Ruth. Some people do use the hair from a horse but it can be quite heavy on a fine work. Only use the tapered ends and it will look more natural. You will need to glue it in at the tip because it has a habit of bouncing out if you don’t 😊
Your work is very beautiful! I was wondering if you could tell me what silk tops are? and where it can be purchased. I tried googling but all I got were silk clothing. Thanks!
Hello Murray, Thank you for your nice comment. I don’t know what country you are in but here are two links for English wool suppliers that sell everything you need including silk tops....And not the tops you wear!! 😁 www.worldofwool.co.uk/search?q=Silk%20tops www.winghamwoolwork.co.uk/search/for/Silk+top/
