  Kira K. asked:

  I need to buy some beads. Where is the best place to get approximately 15-20 hanks? Maybe a little more. I need to bead 2 pairs of moccasins, one pair for my baby boy (size-newborn) and one for my 7 yr old baby girl (size 1-2).

  Anyone have a reputable wholesale recommendation for wire/gems/beads? Membership required or not, any suggestions are welcome! I've recently delved into more intricate wrapping and I've run through 7 spools these last two weeks. With the amount of wire that now goes into each pendant & the amount you get it really doesn't last long as I'm sure most of you answering this already know. Gets pricey real quick picking everything up from craft stores! Thank you in advance :)

  Liz H. asked:

  I'm making a knife case that's similar to a ~1600-1625 knife case held by the V&A. I've just finished the embroidery for both sides of the case, and boy are my fingertips messed up! The polychrome silk is all tent stitch. The gold vines are plaited braid and the silver background is Elizabethan ground stitch (according to Jacqui Carey). If anyone here has any advice on places to purchase wooden beads/formers similar to those tassels on the original, I'd be grateful! I'm also looking to chat with anyone who's woven over wooden formers in this style.

  Where's the best place to buy glass beads?

  

  Sandra J. replied:

  Well, others may be able to answer for local bead shopping but, one of the best places I know is in Olympia area. You can also order from them online. For me when I beaded it was worth the trip. https://www.shipwreckbeads.com/

  Where to get beads that are the same cut and size for beading? Are there any good tutorials on making tubular peyote stitch necklaces and medallions? Any and all help is very much appreciated.

  I once asked the Bees for a source for pearls … but I can't find my notes! Could someone oblige with a source or two to recommend? Real pearls preferred … are there other options besides plastic?
