Hey all!
Happpy New Year!
ok ok ok so I am a little late.

I am in the process of updating my web site and I am creating two new pages.
One is for links to artist who make bears/animals out of people's heirloom fur coats.
The second one is for people who are looking to have restoration work done on their bears.

On both pages I will list the contact information for those artists.

If you or someone you know does this type of work please send me you contact information so I can include you.
The only thing that I ask is that you place a link on your web site back to mine.
The information that I need is as follows:

Artist Name:
Business Name:
Repair & Restoration: Yes/No
Real Fur: Yes/No
Web URL:
Snail Mail:
E-mail:
Phone:
Fax:
Ave Size:
Ave Price:

Thank you.

I don't care where you live. If you do repairs/restoration and/or if you make bears and friends out of real fur, I would like to add your contact information.
I have a ton of people ask me if I do and I don't, but I need a list of people who do so I can refer them there.
So everyone is welcome.
Thank you

I don't WANT to take in the coats of others to make into bears -- so much responsibility; what if I mess up? -- and it's so hard to work in fur that I don't want to advertise my (limited) experience in that way.  And I simply don't do restoration of any kind.

So you're not being ignored by me!  I just can't participate... bear_sad

Ditto SueAnn
Well I don't do either. Too much work involved. But I want to have the information handy the next time I get asked who does. Plus I thought I could create a page on my web site for that kind of information.

Oh Hon! I think we are all interested, but few do restorations. As far as heirloom pieces from genuine fur there are many on this forum that I give thumbs up to for their brilliance! I certainly am not one of those brilliant people!

Many Hugs Louise
