I am now putting Merino wool on my "feared fabrics" list thanks to Love & Hate from Nifer Fahrion. Love & Hate is a set of weapons, a glock, a grenade and brass knuckles, that were created entirely out of Merino wool.
According to Fahrion, sculpting using Merino wool is a very tedious process, with little margin for error. One person's pain is another person's pleasure as the hot-pink weapons of Love & Hate truly are truly a sight to see. If you are in the market for pink weapons, Fahrion has put a price tag of $1,200 on this set of woolly pieces. If you don't happen to have an extra $1,200 lying around, you can always check out Love & Hate from Nifer Fahrion for free here.
