Thanks, I'll go for the fishing line i think - I'm allergic to horses, so not sure that'd be such a good idea for me!  bear_laugh

Emma don't worry about the horse-hair - I'm allergic too - you have to wash the horse-hair with baby-shampoo anyway because of it's smelling, but than it's really fantastic - please have a look at my "Abigal" who has horse-hair as whiskers and also on the top of her head

Abigail looks gorgeous! The horse hair really does work well, how do you attach it?

Andrea,

That's a fabulous picture/tutorial!  Thank you so much for sharing that technique.  I just made up a rabbit & was thinking I'd like to add whiskers, but wasn't sure about how to apply them.
