Posts: 222im thinking about making a dream bear i hae been drawing for years and want to use the shiny wrinkly leather for the bottoms of the feet is there a good place to get some in all colors, i have seen some awesome bears over the years like one that is 3 feet tall pure black with brown muzzle, and black shiny leather for the soles of the feet and it is super wrinkly and i just loved that bear but missed out on getting it so im going to try to make one similar to it and a hula panda with white shiny wrinkly leather on the soles of the feet and ill keep drawing up some neat designs for bears and hope someone would like them.
Ruby Mountain Bearshave you tried Tandy, it's a leather company. Not sure about the wrinkled leather but they might get you closer to what you are looking for. hope that helps.
Creative Design Studio (RKR4CDS)I've seen faux leathers like these at Hancock's. By the yard - for upholstering furniture and end-of-bolt pieces.
When looking for smaller pieces, don't forget to check the resale shops for gloves (fabulous supple kid leathers and in colors) small pieces of luggage, old leather fashion boots and coats. Good bargains on leathers with lots of character!

I love using leather!
I'd try eBay. I won a pile of nice leather coats and jackets . They're all colors of the rainbow, plus naturals, shiny on the outside and suede on the inside. I think they cost me about $5 apiece, including postage.
