RE: Copy of: Horsehair Options

Hi!

When I originally posted my reply to the question of using horse hair to create
squiggly lines
on raku, I mentioned that also human hair would work. Therefore, I imagine that
all animal hair
would work. From what I have been told, it is the protein in the hair (or
molasses, or sugar) that
makes the lines/marks.

"A friend and I are wondering if anything besides actual horsehair will work
for Horsehair Raku. Like maybe the coarse tail hairs from her Golden
Retriever mix? I have a friend with a Siberian Husky, would that work? Would
long human hair work just as well as the dog hair?"
