Prowler, et al.
The thread used for the body is called "Krystal String". It is a stretchy string used in jewelry making.

And I'll be dadgummed if I can find any in my neck of the woods.

Chuck, the Plaid store in Discover Mills closed eons ago. Where do you get your supply? Or did you find a lifetime supply somewhere (you're good at that!) :)

George,
Found some at the Gem show in Franklin, N. C. a few weeks back. Even got a couple of new colors. Lifetime supply--at my age, probably!!:D
Have not found any locally.

Nice looking SH Prowler !

George,

I found a pack of multi colors at a Hobby lobby in Columbus, GA last week in jewelry dept.. I think it was 10 different colors and it normally goes for $12 but was half off. There were only 2 there and GB claimed the other one...which reminds me, I forgot to give it to him today :bang:

Anyway, I'll check other Hobby Lobbys on my travels and if I find any more will pick up that I can.
