Any Jewelry Beaders Out There?

[Sookie]

I have dabbled in making beaded bracelets, and think it's a lot of fun. They make great gifts also.

I have been asked to make a bracelet in SS with pink beads and SS name beads for a young girl who is moving away (she's 14). Does anyone know of a really good place to order unusual lampwork beads that are small (ie, 6MM or less)?

Also, I have trouble with the clasps and was wondering if anyone knows of a beading site that goes into detail with how to finish off the bracelets. I also have trouble if I'm connecting more than one strand.

TIA

I order all my beads and clasps from Fire Mountain Gems (http://www.firemountaingems.com/) . They also have a catalog (it's in two parts) but they have always had what I needed and great prices

The site Sneezles refers to has a part called "Bead University". It has some "how to" stuff. Good luck---I love beading! I have had good luck with purchasing beads on ebay. Fire Mountain is a great source, too.
