How To Cook

Let me know how your new cooking skills are working out!

There are many helpful sites on the internet that you will find that tend to the art of making candles.  But, I have found a site that has so many resources for candle making and candle making how-to's in one place, I will go as far as to call it the "Candle King".

I have been making beaded necklaces for quit a few years now.  In the past I have made most of my necklaces from hemp and would make really thick braided necklaces that would have a large glass centerpiece.  When I was making these type of necklaces I would spend 90% of my investment on the showpeice bead in the middle of the necklace. 

However, recently I have been working more with bead work and have looked around to find good places to purchase beads and now use http://www.jewelrysupply.com/ to buy the Swarovski Crystals and pendants that I use.  Most of the time I use the rope or wire I acquire right out of a local Wal-Mart.

I was wondering if others here have a place they like the quality of jewels and pendants that I may look at to expand my design line?

Thanks for any and all responses.
