Hi George,
here is my trial at doing a haystack.


I used "hair" from an old broom that I soaked with white glue and a little brown paint. I gave the shape by stirring the whole bunch of it inside a glass with a rounded bottom.

Just my 2 cents

Try looking in the florist section at the Hobby Lobby or any other arts and crafts store. You can find material therer that lloks pretty good. IF ytou want , Hudson and Allen has or made a product called "HAY".

But the broom idea that Olivier said is the best one. Real cheap too.

Old style stacks were simply hay raked and bound at one end - use old paint brush bristles tied with thread.

If you want a rounder shape you can something like a ball of clay to act as a 'filler' under paint brush bristles.

You could also experiment with hemp/twine rope. Untwist it and cut it to length. It will give you more flexibility than bristles.

Thanks all,
I will give all a try and see which works best
Thanks
Again
George
