This is a broom I created for Sweethome3d. The blender file has the model and a plane with particles for hair part. The image has been rendered with Cycles. You can see the model with more detail below.
The model has been created with the collaboration of Emmanuel Puybaret from eTeks (Sweet Home 3D)
