Bird Fur Patterns?

Recommended Posts

I have a bunch of this stuff that I scooped up at a sale and have never used much.

 

Anyone have some useful ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Rocco

Not familiar with the product and at first thought was kiwi feathers. Search turned up an advertisement "Bird Fur is THE perfect synthetic craft fur replacement! " so you could sub it on craft fur patterns as well as on marabou, spey, heron patterns.

no no, no zip, this is supposed to be used in place of that nasty plastic stuff, it's natural and renewable and bio-degradable and...wink.png

I saw a video on the FFI website showing the use of bird fur in a shrimp pattern. Sorry, but I haven't the skill to post a link.
