Horse Hair Ball Experiment



I've been wanting to experiment with horse hair instead of glaze. Sacrificing a saint just didn't seem prudent so I tried it on something smaller.....I made really, really heavy Christmas (or maybe Halloween) ornaments.  The horse hair was fun to work with, although a little smelly, it frizzled up and made interesting patterns on the hot ornaments.  ...I'm thinking maybe this would be a fun way to finish a Saint Urban, patron saint for protection from frost...
