I then started to look at fur and the use of it in the 30's era. I visited fabrics shops, and the type of fur that i liked was quiet pricey, so i wanted to see if i could create my own fur using another material/ fabric. I was first attracted to the wool used to make felt. I layered it up to create the look of fur. It worked well but i wanted to see how far i could push it so i added other colours, fabrics and colours to it. Some of my samples turned out well, but i had to think about the hardwearing side of it and it wasn't that good because it gets matted quite quickly; so i decided not to use it.
