Ok so I've been doing a bit of cleaning and I have come to the conclusion I have a lot of @%# fabric!  :crackup:

I would love to do some trades, swaps or give-a-ways.  I'm looking to trade for mini bear fabrics, burlap/tweed, canvas, or other supplies like eyes and joints.

On the give-a-ways as long as you paid shipping I would stuff a box or envelope full of fabric.

I have boxes and boxes of felt
Some of this is the "craft" felt squares and some of it it the thicker stuff you buy by the yard. I have too much to list and just about every color other than pink & purple.  I have green, brown, white, cream, red, black and so on.

Fleece:
I have a ton of "lamb" looking fleece.  Same fabric as this bear here but with out the embroidery http://enchantmentsart.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1sqip3
Cream/off white about 10 yards or more
Tiger print I think there is about 10 yards so I can cut this down if more than one person wants some
Pink about 4 yards
Cameo green and black

Faux Fur:
I have a ton of white and other colors like brown, blacks and creams.  I would love to trade for some odd colors like pink, purples, blues or reds.

Ok this is just some of the faux fur I have.  I would love to swap for un-natural colors like pinks, purples, greens, blues, etc...

If anyone wants this white fabric as long as you'll pay shipping it's free or if you want a smaller amount of it I can cut it down.

it has about a 2" pile is very shaggy and messy and I think there is about 4+ yards

I have a roll of weird white "fur" that has a stiff latex like backing so it can't be turned (I tired) unless it was a really large bear.  But the "fur" is really soft and long so maybe someone can do
something with it.  Now looking at this roll I think it would be too hard to ship.  It's in about a 3 foot long roll and does not bend.  But if someone wanted me to cut them squares of it I could do that.

Other mis. fabrics like quilting fabrics, and backing.  Odds and ends like leather and so on.

I also have a ton of short black velvet (real velvet) if anyone would like some of that.  It works great for paw pads and for painting.  I have a 40 foot roll so there is plenty to go around bear_original

Hey,

I don't think that I would have very much to offer to you for a trade, I've just recently started in having a collection of mohair fabrics (with the kind help of some generous TTer's), but if there are special colors you're looking for, I could take a look at my stash and see what I have for you.
If I don't have anything you want, I'd totally be interested in the give-away you mentioned  :redface:
I think it's great that you are so generous!  :hug: The shipping from the USA to Germany should be affordable for me, if we don't use the fastest shipping method....

Hugs and thanks in advance, Ariane

I'm looking for any odd "non-traditional-teddy" colors like pinks, blues and purples or I can always use more glass eyes and small joints :0 If you have anything like that just let me know or other wise let me know what size box or envelope you would like and I can pack one up & they let you know the shipping.  I wish I could afford to pay for shipping but I'm so broke right now bear_sad lol

No problem,
you're doing ME a favor so I can pay the shipping, that's just naturally!
I can't help with glass eyes, I have to stock up on those too... And joints..well, I have some kind of cotter pins, very small and some even smaller (for micro bears, I suppose). If I only knew where they are..<.<'' You see, we moved last month so they must be somewhere in a box of some kind....
I'll take a look at my stash of fabric to see if I have some unusual colors I can part with. Is there a  certain length you prefer?
But as it's in the middle of the night here in Germany, I will go to bed now and see what I have tomorrow  bear_grin

Hugs, Ariane

Hey, it's me again^^

I took a look at my stash, but half of it is packed away I don't know where... <.<' I KNOW for sure I have some mini bear fabrics in unusual colors, but they're not where I supposed them to be.. Well, we have about 60 big boxes here with stuff in it, so it will take a pretty long time to find everything.... I'll come back to you when I find all those pieces and have something ready to be shipped to you.

For the moment, I'd be glad to accept your give-away offer. I'm pretty bad at guessing how much goes into a box... But I can pay up to 25$ dollars for this shipping if this is of any help?

I also wanted to ask you if you have a certain style of mohair/faux fur/synthetic. I'm working on a life sized meerkat plush for my mother's birthday and am not sure if I have the right fabric for it. I mean, I have hunted down a piece in the right color that was kindly given to me, but it won't be enough for a life sized one, I think. So, I was wondering if you have any a bit bigger piece of fur in a color similar to the main color of a meerkat (grey-brown? Hard to describe) with a quite smallish pile length(under 1cm?) that you'd be willing to part with?

Hugs, Ariane

Hi you are so generous  :clap: i am interested in the white fur with the latex backing just how hard is it to turn?  When you say a large bear how wide do you think that the opening may need to be?  I uld swap some unusual colored synthetic fur but it may be easier to take part in paying for the shipping if you want to give it away.  I can't believe how generous you are but it should come back to you multifold!  I may also be interested in paying for this fur if you could perhaps send me a photo

I'll try to get pictures of everything.  The stuff with the latex backing is weird so I'll get pictures of it too LOL  I really don't know if it could be turned, I tried making a polar bear from some of it that was about a 20" bear with 4" opens.  I got the head & body turned but gave up on the legs  :crackup:

Oh I forgot to say I would trade for other non-teddy bear related things too.
Anything for needle felting (wool, needles, etc)
Watercolor stuff (paints, brushes, paper, etc)
Anything for sculpting or doll making (clays, doll eyes, tools etc)
Other art supplies like Primacolor pencils, canvas, etc.

That put my hopes to rest if you can't fold the white latex backed stuff.  With the pinks and purples you are interested in are you after faux fur?  I may put something together for you and then see what you have left.

Yeah I'm looking for faux fur, mohair, or mini bear fabrics in those colors.
