Felted Cat Hair Balls
Well, “beads”, actually, but the heading, stolen from Crafty blog, was too good to pass up.
From Flickr:

(aside: does anyone know how to go from a link to a static Flickr image back to the photographer’s page? I haven’t yet figured out how to suss out the photographer’s Flickr info in order to do that)
CuriousJane took a full summer to gather the hair from her cat to create the 13 beads above - I can only imagine how many we could generate from our 4 dahlings over the course of a summer.
I’m not entirely sure I’d want to actually wear a necklace (or other jewelry type) made of dyed cat fur, but the concept intrigues me.
