cheap body materials

[Ptinid]

Browsing as you do (more accurately being dragged around) at B&Q in Dundee, I discovered an interesting item in the Christmas section.

They are selling bags of 'Lametta' in various colours (black, silver, green, gold & red). This is strips of shiny plastic, about 22inches long and about 1/8 inch wide. Haven't counted exactly but there must be 100 strips per bag.

This makes a great  body where you would use a tinsel, and each bag is only 99p.

Worth checking out.

Yeah. Guess what I'm doing today

The grout, the whole grout and nothing but the grout!

Thanks ptinid, I'll check out Lametta.

A source of free dubbing material is the fluff filter on a tumbledryer. I have loads of nondescript brown- grey fluff that I bag. For spiky stuff like for DHE thoraxes, I chop up scrap deer hair and bucktail etc. and mix it in using a hand blender.
