Hi,
I have seen a few artist bears that make use of boiled viscose fur.  I wondered if anyone has tried this technique for ageing the fur?  Do you literally just boil up the viscose in a saucepan?
Many thanks,
Claire.

Hi There
Good Question is this for Dyeing Fabric or just ageing
Come on Ladies lets have some information from you this is a interesting topic

I hadn't heard  people boiled it, but i liked the distressed look, so I just gave wetting it down in hot water and scrunching the fabric as it dried a try, and it distressed it nicely. Experiment on a small piece and see what happens, the viscose isn't expensive.
