3. No ideas on cat hair, per se,

Edited on Tue Feb-13-07 01:38 AM by troubleinwinter

but hairballs are useful. Just let them dry, spray-paint them gold and string them end-to-end for necklaces. They make wonderful Christmas gifts!

(on edit: Did I just get kicked out of this forum???)

4. My best friend's step father was this eccentric architect who did that

for a living. His motto was - if you have some white elephant around the house and don't know what the heck to do with it, simply spray it gold and laugh at it.

When you'd go over there to their house, there was ALWAYS newspaper spread around on the floor with a gold silhouette on it, left over from whatever he'd just spray-painted gold. You'd be stepping over them all day.

6. Why wait for hairballs?

Seems to me that litterbox nuggets, when spraypainted, would probably look much like hairballs. There you go, maybe there's a market for "Faux Furball" necklaces.

7. Do what we did...

Get a Great Pyrenees.

I'm trying to figure out how to knit a sweater, since most of my clothing is lightly frosted ANYWAY!

8. Cat hair incorporates itself automatically. No effort or knowledge required.

9. Yep.

In polymer clay, we call it an inclusion.

In general, it gives you mixed media.

10. Isn't that the truth

I'm going to finish an old afghan I started and put down in '96. Our cat Butch, who has since gone to the great tuna can in the sky, was around at the time. His hairs are still all over my crocheting.

11. All my paintings...

Edited on Sat Mar-03-07 05:48 PM by undergroundpanther

Are acrylic and cat hair compositions... LOL..
I was given a book it tells you how to save your cat's hair after brushing(putting it in ziplock bags sorted by color) Wash it, and, it shows you how to spin it into yarn ,and no shitting here.. knit with it.
It says cat hair in a scarf or sweater form feels like the softest angora yarn..And it would have alot of sentimental meaning for me..
I'm tempted to try it....Cat hair is in abundance in my house.

13. Mine, too, come to think of it. Cat hair, sand and acrylic.

lol

That whole collecting cat hair thing might move me to sweep up more often. I used to have a spindle around here somewhere that I got at a Renaissance Fair(e).

So many obsessions, so little time. :hi:
