Wheres a good place to get fur? Foam? Other things I might need?

for fur, personally, i order it online now.

locally, fabricland is great, if you have a fabricland card, and are willing to sacrifice your first born child. dressew (downtown vancouver) has an AMAZING selection of fabric. they have an entire WALL of it. and i think they've added more. most of it is natural fur colours. most of it is between 30 and 50$/meter. but you only need one arm and leg for sewing, so you could sacrifice those, if you want. it'd mean you need less fur, too.

online, places like

http://www.distinctivefabric.com/category.php?cat=LONGFUR
http://www.fabric.com/apparel-fashion-fabric-faux-fur-fabric-faux-fur-luxury-shag-fabric.aspx

ideally, ship somewhere in the USA. there are several freight companies in Blaine (just the other side of the boarder) that will accept packages and usually charge between 2 and 5$ to pick them up.

to give you an idea, i just bought 23 yards of faux fur, at around 20$/yard, and shipping was 50$. comparably, shipping to canada is well over double that price. however, that same faux fur is some of the highest quality i've seen, EASILY comparable to dressew or fabricland's best. they also have a much better selection when it comes to unnatural fur colours (eg. pink, blue, green, orange, etc)
feel free to check me out i belong to allot of sites so type my name in or follow a link from here :P http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Ceowolf
