The Beadwrangler Lady
Lydia Borin is my bead crochet mentor. She has a great website filled with tons of information and a huge selection of Czech Glass Beads. I love her fantabulous bead mixes which represent 40 years of color study.
Check out www.janesfiberandbeads.com and don’t miss a chance to go to one of Jane’s shows. She has one of the largest selections of seed beads I have seen.
Helene Kirzner is a dear lady who teaches and does beautiful bead crochet. Be sure to watch for her at shows or go to her online store at www.bead-azzled.com.
Theresa and Paul Guthrie are a lovely couple with whom it is truly a pleasure to do business. They carry Miyuki, Swarovski, looms, and beautiful kits. Visit them at www.moondancedesigns.com.
For an amazing amount of information on working with wire, creating your own findings, and bead and wire jewelry, be sure to go to www.wigjig.com.
I buy my polymer clay and clay tools at The Clay Store. It is a wonderful, and a friendly site. I love it.
