Many of us have our own suppliers, but sometimes, knowing some other places where to get materials can be useful ! Here's a list that I (Enid) made. Don't hesitate to add your own links and advice

Beadaholique
This is where you can find affordable findings in small or larger quantities (A pack of 100 hypoallergenic earring hooks is approximately 3.00$ USD) They also offer a nice variety of bulk chain sold to the foot. I don't really recommend this website if you're looking for wire or a wide selection of beads.

The Austin Hamilton Studio
If you're looking for affordable lampwork beads, this is the place. I mostly recommend to look in their "Beads on Sale" section, some prices are ridiculously low, for the quality and the product offered. I order from them pretty often, and never was I disapointed with what I received. You can also suscribe to their VIP customer program, to get a 10% rebate on everything + free shipping for every destination. A must-see !

Hackberry Creek Gems
I sometimes visit their website, since I usually can find some good deals on random stuff. (Semi-precious gems beads, cat's eyes, seed beads...) Must visit once in a while, but it's not one of my main suppliers.

Fire Mountain Gems
Offers a WIDE selection of almost everything ! There are also prices reductions if you buy a larger quantity of items. This website is very complete, and you can also order by phone, or by catalog. They offer a nice choice of Czech beads colors, and you can even buy them by the mass (Approx 1200 beads). If you're looking for wire or beading thread, this is a nice stop ! Accuflex, Nymo, Sterling argentium wire... I order from them pretty often, and for huge amounts of stock !

These were some of my addresses, but there are a lot more ! There's also the JMoore Studio that sells very nice lampwork beads on Ebay, for affordable prices.

Hope this will be useful for you, Beadin' Addicts !
