Hi Kim- thanks for the site. I couldn't find an answer to my glue question though-(maybe there isn't one)- Is there a good adhesive for putting glitter or fairy dust on mohair with out making the mohair all hard and stiff?

I've done a couple of bears that have a wee bit of glittery accents around the eyes... I used an acrylic based fabric paint that has glitter in it... But, it does have a bit of stiff feel... it's not like airbrush acrylics that are so fine that they don't have that stiff feel to them....

I think that you are going to have a little bit of stiffness no matter what you use when trying to "attach" glittery things....

I did this with Angela and am doing it now with my commissioned bear.... I have only done it around the eyes, never the whole body...

I also have floral spray with glitter in it but am afriad to use it on anything yet.... I think maybe Nancy T. had it in her book that you can use it...
