1. Filled heart shape with red/pink
2. add noise to the shape (amount dependant on size)
3. stylize > wind - stagger (either way)
4. Rotate the heart and apply wind again
5. maybe a few more times of rotating and winding!
6. Smudge the hell out of it!
add - shadows, highlights manually with brushes etc.
Don't overdo the blur and bobs your uncle.
@Philip Readman me too. This could do with lots of refinement, but the outcome isn't too bad. But think this only works well on smaller imagery, unless you got a day or two spare! There are tutorials out there that create fur, but they were quite neat. I was wanting the messy kind.
@Andrew Edwards I would never be creating it for anything bigger than 512 x 512 for icon sizes so this to me looks like a perfect solution, thanks for sharing :)

Creating a fluffy texture in photoshop from scratch - looks fairly convincing, but the overall image borders on the merkin a little!

It's nice, but I think it looks a little too blurry

@jonathan olsen I did put a blur on the top edges. Perhaps a little too much.

I agree with @PhilReadman, do a tut! Apart from a little bit of extra blur on the edges, it looks very convincing!
