Question:
I'm looking to get a gift for a dear friend who makes and sells beautiful
beaded jewelry. She's always on the lookout for new beads, so I was
wondering what your favorite websites (she's not geographically close to me,
so brick and mortar stores would be tough) for beading supplies are.
Answer:
-I would suggest you first find out what kind of beading she does --
~ Stringing?
~ Seed bead weaving?
~ Wire work?
That'll help a lot. And then check out the list here:

You'll find artisanal beads (one-of-a-kind tiny masterpieces), beading
supplies, and a lot more! (Including -- for everyone -- eye candy!) If you
need any help, just remove the spamblockers in my email address above and I'd
be happy to assist you.
-Check at www.justbeads.com, an auction site (logically enough) limited
to beads and beading supplies. Some wonderful artist's beads. I
particularly like the polymer clay focus beads.
