Well, I guess it wouldn't be a webpage without a page of links, so here are a few of the beading resources I find helpful. |

Fire Mountain Gems |
|
|
|
These guys have pretty much everything you can think of and good prices, especially if you buy in bulk. They've got every kind of bead, all kinds of tools, packaging, faceted gems, etc. Shipping to Canada is $20US though, so you have to order a lot to make it worth your while. |

Art Beads |
|
|
|
|
|
Art Beads is the place to go when you just need that one little thing. You can buy beads one at a time there, and their shipping is only $1US to Canada, which is just amazing. They also have SoftFlex and Beadalon cords, which Fire Mountain doesn't carry, and a great selection of sterling silver beads and findings. They don't have the biggest selection, but I find that in general their prices on small quantities are better than Fire Mountain. |

Kathy's Findings |
|
|
|
|
Kathy has the best selection of 14k findings (both white and yellow gold) that I have seen anywhere, and her prices are really good. She ships things really fast and her shipping is only $2.50, so it's great for the impulse buy. |

Here you'll find detailed instructions on how to do french wire ends. I think everyone should try it! There are some other instructions there too. |
