I just asked at Michaels 2 days ago, no go.  Specialty shop thing I guess.  Milkweed fibres are a pain in the arse to strip out of the stalk, but I have a good pile of stalks that are 'retting' in the freeze-thaw of our frosty days here. I guess I'll get to that AFTER I scrape two mule deer hides I have soaking, getting rather stinky....

Is that garaffe print tissue paper backing on the bow. I've used that and other animal print tissue paper for decorative backings.

Cotton fabric swatch from Walmart, giraffe print.  Just in case it blows up.
