Hi Wes,
If you've got full animal skins, have you tried whiskers from the face?
Just an idea.
Or the paint brush seems a good idea. Cut to length to suit,

Hi VFB,
It's spring here (finally). This winter seemed r-e-a-l-l-y long.
I have a fly
If you use Boar's bristle paint brushes as the fibets, you will find that they
contain a natural taper and work wonderfully. They are also much cheaper.
There are also some nylon paint brushes with tapering ends, but they are very
expensive. They have rather a white end to the fiber so you
Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Great ideas. I was looking up
Joyce's Boar's bristle brush idea and found these, in white.

Not synthetic, but pretty good looking.

Wes,
Try a patch of Porcupine. You need a patch with a lot of kind of under hair. I
have a patch with quills but also a patch with small quills and a lot of long
like hairs. I think that would work for you. I have used them for antennas in
the past for realistic flies.

If you use Boar's bristle paint brushes as the fibets, you
Wes try your standard paint brush fiber. Just hold them against a sanding
disk to sand a taper in the end. You can do a small brush all at once then
pick the fibers free as you need them
