I'm on a material hunt. I just bought out spotlight out of it, but need more.

Does anyone know where has some long strand (about an inch) golden yellow fur?

Prefer it to be in Sydney, but will make it worth you effort if it's interstate? I need about 3m more at least.

Hey MachV, a little bit off your topic I know, but will you have time to check out the local fabric shops while you're here for Avcon - and do you want a native guide? wink.gif

i got time on friday day before the event, and after the con!

But lack of sewing machine. So gonna get as much done in syd as possible.

But I found the fur i need for this costume, on the other side of syd. Even tho it's a spotlight, it calls it a differant colour from the spotlight I bought the orginal stuff from.

And for the record, Iit's confirms, After tomorrow, I will have bought all major sydney out of golden/super yellow long strand fur!

so long as you got enough fabric for your project :-D Hopefully they'll re-stock it fast for anyone else who needs it.
