MikeRock Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) One of the Tandy library downloads ( I think) had something about putting in hair with a glovers needle. I just thought of something else entirely and looked at my suture kit. There are curved triangular needles that would do the 'hair' trick nicely. Go here and look at the third cutting needle down from the top. http://www.micromed.com/en-US/surgical-suture/suture-needle_needles/ In some kind of needle holder that would make awesome hair grooves as you could easily make a curved track. God bless Edited September 5, 2019 by MikeRock added 'curved track' Quote

God bless Thanks for the great tip! I use several of my own tools, made by finalizing dentist's spatulas and trowels. Your idea is great and I will definitely try the option you proposed. Quote

MikeRock Posted September 6, 2019 Report Posted September 6, 2019 AB, just had the idea that one of those suture needles in a swivel knife type holder would let you 'flow' the hair lines very well. The triangular cutting surface would be below and behind the swivel point so some nice curves could be made quite easily. God bless Quote

But still, I managed to devote time to my hobby and finish coloring this work. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 15, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted September 15, 2019 EVERY BIT as nice as I had expected. You really picked up the hair texture here ... this looks great! Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

In addition to hair, I had to seriously to work on ears - after all, a lioness’s ear rises 3/4 inches above the mane of a lion. Quote
