You'll have better luck if you post in Products Wanted. This forum is for asking how to make textures yourself.

BTW, if you want to try making fur trim, a nice place to start is with Natalia's tutorial at http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/2006/12/day-78-snow-bunny-and-fur-trims.html.

I have to say that I had a terrible time following her tutorial on fur. It makes no sense to me. When it gets to the cutting and pasting in a layer, like the same layer she just used, Im lost.

With all creative things it takes practice and yes it can be overwhelming but
with patience and persistence anyone can create textures but yes it can
be overwhelming at first.
If you want to learn this some links of things I found this week and tonight.
If you don' want to learnt go hunt down a Texture shop like TRU or Onrez or Xstreet.
I am not sure which art program you're using but I did some searches.
Paint.net has one here it is free art program easier to use then
gimp.
This one used different shades of brown but with enough practice you
could do a white version.
I have been doing some research on this myself most use
black layer then in different layers do white, white grays and so on.

This one shows you idea of line strokes it geared towards PS
but I think it could be used in any art program because
it giving you idea of lines and shadows.

I found the three above here there is numerous in the art wiki I didn't get chance to go through all of them yet, but few of links on drawing fur aren't working:(

Fuzzy tutorial is the best if you only go to one site.

Prompted by this thread I made some fur on the Holiday Theme.



I did a few variations on the classic holiday colors, 36 files in the pack including white fur.
They are up and available now. Just follow the link in my sig. :)
