Acrylic Paint to trade for Natural Materials

I have 3 boxes, each holding about 75 2-oz bottles of acrylic paint (mostly  Delta Ceramcoat and Apple Barrel Colors). The bottles are opened but they are pretty much 1/2 to 3/4 full. Each box is a complete palette with few duplicates. I'd like to swap for natural materials such as dried plant material, cordage, yarns, roving. etc.  (I weave on gourds!)

Hi Gourd Lovers,
I will be teaching at The Gathering and will be bringing lots of carving bits, brad point drill bits, pin vises (straight or T handle) to sell or trade. As well as woodless color pencils, black permanent ink pen sets (pens are in different sizes in each set) of 3 or 6 pieces. I have flap wheels in small (for rotary tools) and medium size (for drill press or hand drill) in three different grits. Along with what ever else I can find to bring with. So if you would like to stop by and check out what I have I'm sure we can work out a deal.

I will trade for Southern pine needles, Devil's claws, or any other interesting pods or leaves. Or if you have light colored, blemish free gourds I can always use for class work let me know what you're after.
