Jewlery making tips

[dancerjodi]

For those crafty people out there, does anyone know of a good source for beads? I'm looking for cheap crystal-looking ones (teeny ones, and teardrop ones).

Also, any tips on what kind of wire works well for crown making? I'm going to be trying to make a decent Arwen Ceremonial Crown from Return of the King - for pix go here and scroll to the bottom: http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Elf/Arwen/Green.htm

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I was thinking of them because years ago when Brian was still making chainmail he went in on an order of beads with Columbine (I knew their name was something Mountain, but couldn't remember what) :)
