The Bartering Table

I have always loved the barter system. Sometimes people just don't have the spare cash to buy my artwork, so I am always open to a good trade! Here's a list of my current wants (they're suggestions--if you have anything that deviates from specifics, let me know; it may be what I want!). Contact me.

Right now, my bartering is limited because I'm in grad school and I need money more than I need more stuff. However, let me know what you have and we can talk.

Fur and leather (any legal animal--CITES-protected animals such as wolves must come with all appropriate paperwork!) Old fur coats are acceptable and in many cases preferred--recycling is the best! Leather pants and coats are fine, too.
Beads - no plastic! Glass, bone, metal, etc. are good. Any size, shape, colour. Old beaded jewelry is fine, too. Small amounts are fine.
Craft thread - I especially need waxed linen cord and artificial sinew in any color.
Claws, teeth and bones - again, please keep it legal. Skulls, ribs, shoulderblades and long leg bones are especially appreciated, but any will work. I'm not too picky.
Jewelry findings - pendants, crimp beads, earring hooks/posts, jump rings, clasps, etc.
Dried gourds
ANTLERS! Deer, elk, moose etc.--all are needed!
Incomplete or unwanted tarot decks
Taxidermy mounts, any condition, especially mammals and antique fur rugs
Knife blades - must have a tang at least 2" long. If you're bartering a whole mass market knife, make sure the handle can be easily removed, generally through unscrewing the pommel and sliding the handle off. Sword blades are also acceptable.
Brass bells - Specifically I'm looking for brass or tin bells like the ones here (though not the tiny jingle/belly dance bells).
Books - I need almost all of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, and all of the Codex Alera. Also seeking most Batman and related series graphics novels, Neil Gaiman's Sandman and Books of Magic GNs, and Alan Moore's run of Swamp Thing (again, graphic novels preferred).
