It's nice to see another person do mohair! I can't wait to see more. I understand what you mean by limited balance though. I've had to sacrifice a lot of balance in mine for chubby tummies. I have tried needle felting on minky with limited success. It's cause of the way the backing is too tightly woven. I personally prefer doing miniatures in mohair still. Great work! You've motivated me to get on the ball about finishing my current line so I can do more realistic work later on. So many projects, too little time

There are synthetic furs that I've looked into, but since they cost as much as the mohair, I just stick to mohair since I can buy a yard and dye what I want to use. I can't wait to see more of your stuff. I'm definitely a huge silent fan

I use sparse mohair because I make miniatures. A lot of the denser stuff would hide most of their features because of the length vs the scale of my work. Mine are around 12cm usually. One of my favorite bear artists is actually from the Netherlands, but I don't know where she orders her stuff from. I haven't been to a fair or a convention yet. They are really expensive to do. 200 USD for a table is a little out of my price range

I turn mine with a hemostat though I originally did it with tweezers. Her website is hugmeagain.com The convention I wanted to go to is 200 USD though it includes meals. It's still out of my price range once you add up travel costs and hotel fees
