I had a look with the zoom feature- you can almost see the links in the necklace and the stitches in that 4-layer head veil, but the fur is curiously fuzzy- I would think a pale type of beaver? Or if you could lay your hands on actual german angora bunny pelts, that might be a close approximation without the expense of winter weasel fur(with or without tails) Just my .02 Lira, Betsy

I am about to embark on a "Arnolfi Wedding" dress. http://tinyurl.com/creey OR http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects.dll/CollectionPublisher .woa/wa/work?workNumber=NG186 I have 12 yards of the bright green wool....it weighs a ton! It looks like that will just barely squeeze by as enough. What kind of fur does it look like to you? I am pretty sure I can't afford that much Ermine....if that is what it is. Unless it is REALLY good faux fur, I don't want to use it. I am almost more inclined to use a natural color of velvet --thinking rayon/silk.... What would you do?
