This is not an exhaustive list! These are resources I’ve either used myself or which have been recommended by other clayers. I’d welcome any feedback on these sellers and any additions you’d like to send me. I’ll pass them along. My apologies to anyone I’ve bought clay, supplies, tools, etc. from, and whom I may have overlooked here. Just contact me at suzanne@nimblesprite.com to remind me.

buna cord and O-rings

http://www.cabelas.com/ Greenhead Gear® Quick-Fix® Decoy Cord is black buna cord which comes in a large roll and is a great buy

http://www.mcmaster.com/ Buna-N O-rings: dash no. 103 (3/32" x 9/32") fits the decoy cord perfectly (see above); use dash no. 107 (7/32" x 13/32") where you want cord to pass freely through the rings or where two thicknesses of cord must pass through. I use both sizes in constructing wearable vessels.
