I started saving whiskers after the last whisker thread. I had quite a few.... and ya know what? They got stolen :eek: Seriously, they were in my little jewelry box and they took the whiskers along with all my jewelry :( I'm a little sad thining they took Flutter's baby whiskers :(

How many will it take? Good question, since I have never done a "kitty-whisker" pot. We just might be starting a new trend here!
I'm not quite sure :confused: sorry. I do know that when I did this with horse hair I used about a handful of hair, and spread it out over the pot.Quote:

This is my first attempt at doing this with whiskers, so it is a learning process for me as well.
Since the techinque "singes" the hair on to the pot, the color of the whisker does not matter (it didn't matter what color the horse's hair was either).Quote:

Don't worry about it Kim, although I do hope they catch whoever did this, and you can recover some of your possesions. IMO I personally think you were watched the day you left and they knew the house was empty :mad:
Thank you Tracey!!!
Got my envelope full of whiskers today!!! :D :D
I sent mine too, and already have a start on a new collection. :D

You should have seen the way these came, all perfectly lined up with each other in a plastic bag :D My husband asked if I had a permit for transporting "hazardous materials" through the mail :rolleyes: ........men.
I only have one of Tigris (nearly as long as horse hair ;))- and I will keep that. I never found one of Filou. ;)
Thank you Slick!! Received your whiskers yesterday, and have added them to my collection!Quote:

I'm SO happy that you guys are helping me out with this project! If I had to rely on my 3, this project would take forever :rolleyes:
I don't know how you guys do it.....I'm lucky if I find 1 whisker every once in a while, and I am looking hard for them!! :D :rolleyes:
Thank you, thank you, thank you.................. :D
I truly don't think that I have ever found a whisker! Really!!!! And I've had two cats for a long time up until recently.
Good luck with your project!
Bumping this up for Bunny. I think she is almost ready to do her project.
Any whiskers out there?? :D
With all my cats I should find some.I'll look.My husband does the vaccuming around here...I'll tell him to look before he does it again and i'll be looking now and then :) I'd be happy to.I'll PM you when I get them for your address.
Catnapper...I'm so sorry your for jewelry getting stolen.That's terrible.I hate theives as much as I hate Murderers.I know it sounds crazy...But It really bothers me to think people can steel from others and feel they are still as good as the next Joe.Whiskers though?That's weird.
I've been robbed before also.Broken into while at work.Stole everything years ago.A horrible feeling.
I've had friends(not friends any more) steel little tiny things from my house...And I cannot understand it for the life of me.They think that you don't know too.That's more of a disease.
Ok, our weather has finally cooled down enough for me to work over a 1600 degree kiln!!
****Anyone out there with whiskers, please I need them now!!****
Please PM me for my address, I will take as many as you can spare! :)
I've been busy with the upcoming shelter Cat/Art show, they now made me in charge of alerting the media along with finding other artists - - oh man, this is going to be fun.....NOT! For days now I've had all the phone #'s of the local TV stations on the desk all I have to do is call them, but I've chickened out every day!! I so do not want to do this!!!!!
Any way, thanks in advance for your USED whiskers - Please do not pull them from your kitty!!! :) :)
Bunny
FACT: Cats whiskers come out? I did not know that !! :eek:
I've got no cats, (as Jen would freak out ) but I'll ask some of my multiple-cat owning friend if they've got any for ya. ;)
Yup, we PTers are crazy... Collecting whiskers ! :p
