Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you Donna and DB.  Looks like some good suggestions.  Let me dig around with what you recommended and see if I have any more questions.  Looks like Edinburgh is the site to shop from.

Thanks for the response Karenaus.

Good point, don't know why I didn't mention the size of the project.  In fact it will be normal goat sized if slightly bigger.  The reason it is on a latex base is it will be wearable as a mask for a companies promotion.

I will check out the supplier you recommend.  Do you (or anyone else reading this post) have a recommendation on pile length and type of mohair to use?  I prefer fabric backed over having individual hair due to the time constraint.

      thanks

I need to hair some goat heads using fabric backed Mohair.  These are just your everyday looking goats and will closely resemble the following image

As you can see in the picture, the hair is very short with a blend of colors primarily brown, black and white

I've been looking for some teddy bear supply companies online that are selling Mohair of various kinds.  I know alot of people here are experienced hairing bears and it's very similar to what I need to do.  However, the biggest difference will be my goats will have a latex form and the fabric will be glued to the latex as opposed to stitched together and stuffed.

What would you recommend as type of mohair with reference to the goat pictures I have in the link : dense, sparse, length of hair, colors etc? 

Recommendations of online mohair suppliers that carry a good stock and quick delivery.

Can you airbrush most mohair?  Because of the blend of colors in the goats,  I can dye the hair to a base color, but will need to airbrush in some of the pepper and blended colors.  Is this possible with straight acrylics or do I need to use oils or some other type of paint?  Is there a need to seal the paint?

Thanks for any suggestions.  This is a quick project, so don't have alot of time to order something out of stock or from a company that might take a few weeks to get me the product.
