Where do you get the hair? starting out, it was all eyebrow hair. i had a quality unibrow, with lush harvests. eyebrow hair was perfect: a nice curve with taper, good length and thickness, and best of all, a plug at the bottom that helped them stay in. with age, the source has moved south. to my beard. still a decent curve and quality thickness, just no plug and no taper...and no pain.
How is the hair attached? Aleene's Tacky Glue. it's stays slightly flexible. (silicone would be ideal, but is too thick and messy). each hair is dipped in glue and inserted into a 1/4" pre-poked follicle.
What type of feldspar do you prefer in your claybody? i prefer a nice white soda spar like nc-4 or minspar.
Is this work for sale? What are the prices? at present, I have no affiliation with a gallery space or dealer. i am perfectly willing to give prices on available work to serious inquiries, but first I ask for your understanding: regardless of any speedy videos you may have seen, my work is exceedingly slow in creation. in part because it’s slow work, and in part because I’M slow. also, of course, prices are based on previous sales to previous buyers. lowering them now would upset the whole dang business. if you’re still interested, email is best. jabriggs72(at)yahoo.com
