My intention was to write 'Hairy' in this style (surprise surprise) but I was getting no where - I didn't have enough hair, and the hair I did get would snap. You could only make tiny stitches too which caused little progress. I do love the effect though, its like some kind of hairy leg.
Searching 'Hair Embroidery' has taken me back to the wunderful Jenny Hart;

I think this is the most hairy example. The fact that hair isn't made of fibers makes for an interesting effect.
