Where can I find beads to make a wired ming tree?

I used to buy beads years ago to make ming trees out of wire and beads. These beads were bought at Magic Mushroom craft store. It's been years since I did this. Does anyone still make these trees and where can I get the beads. Please help.

Looks like they are just seed and bugle beads that you can find most places at any craft store that sells beads. Here is a link you can buy them online...they even have a brand named after them...

Anyone have any suggestions for a beginner with making jewelry with beads?

I am just purchased a kit for lampwork and I am interested in other beading products and jewelry making tips? Any tips would be appreciated.
Books &; Magazines! I have been making jewelry with hemp and beads for years and just recently started branching out to work with wire and metals. I didn't even know what eyepins were used for until I grabbed a book or two. The "for dummies" series has some really great beading/jewelry making books with simple instructions and projects that give a lot of inspiration for more difficult projects. There's a great website with supplies, I think its called &; beads, they also have project ideas and instructions. Look in fashion magazines and see what's shown - if you take a close look at some of the pieces you can figure out how they're made. feel free to e-mail if you have more questions about it, I'll try to help the best I can!
