Subject: [Puptcrit] Distressing fake fur


Hi all.
I am currently working on my Halloween mask, which is a Satyr helmet mask.
Its hair will be fake fur, but the fur I found is boringly even, perfect, 
and wispy.
I want it to look more like it's been around a while,m and for some strands 
to form, to mkae it look like actual fur.

I know old stuffed animals, such as my official Alf plush from the eighties, 
get like this after a few washings.

I wouldn't want to wash the fur more than once or twice, I hate wasting 
water.

Anybody out there know of a better technique?


I know from reading the Swazzle blog that one can boil fake fur and turn it 
into a very interesting matted texture, but that's far from what I need for 
this goat-man.


Thanks!
