Interest Thread: The Flocking Flock swap

[AlexWyattMommy]

I've found the Fun Flock brand at Archivers and the Doodlebug brand at my LSS. The Doodlebug is shorter fibers and looks more like crushed velvet (thanks for that description Susan) and the Fun Flock is longer fibers that look more fuzzy.

My LSS has Fun Flock. They are having a 20% off everything in the store sale today and this weekend so I went by there this morning and got more colors. I'm now ready to play!!!!!

I have the CKC next week and will look for flock there...I'd be interested in this swap as well...but I don't know what I'll find...

I am doing the same - although I can't go for classes or crops I am stopping in at the trade show Friday on my way to a family reuinion camping trip for the weekend in the poconos. I am hoping to see this flock in action!

I've found Doodlebug stockists - they do an assortment of colours for about £10, but are the bottles too tiny to be used for a swap? Should I just get a few bigger bottles (although that involves making a decision )

I've already decided on baubles for Christmas, as its all I have on my cutter, and possibly a cat or pumpkin for Halloween (so I'll need a big black or orange )

What other groups might we have?

i bought the variety pack with the little bottles. because i so could not make decisions.

The Fun Flock jars are .25 ounces (7.08 g). I made seven 3 inch teddy bears with it (covering their entire heads and bodies) and used maybe a little over 1/8th of the flock in the jar. I've got lots left.

Well, what kind of groups would you like?

I can add a kids group. What about animals?

I bought more flock yesterday when I was at Archivers.

Is the animals group idea just for the kids? I'd like an animals group!!!!

ME TOO!!!

The kids group will be "Anything Goes", as per Mazda's suggestion. Animals is for big kids.

I know this is a stupid question but How do you apply the Flock? This sounds cute. Do you apply it like glitter?

I used the Doodlebug crushed velvet flock
I ran the piece through the xyron so the top was sticky. I dumped some flock on top -- it is humid here and the stuff really clumps together. Then I used my finger to spread it around . I tried tapping the excess off, but I really need to rub the excess off - -again humidity may be a factor. I tried my quickie glue pen for a small corner that I missed with the xyron -- it didn't work well at all.

Clean up -- it was fascinating really. I just used a piece of computer paper to catch the excess. I dumped it into the jar. When I looked at the paper, it seemed to have a slight coating of flock. I rubbed at it again with my fingers and made a significant pile! Enough to dump back into the jar.

Thanks I am going to look for Flock soon and can't wait to try it.
