There are several website that I use for beads: http://www.firemountaingems.com/default.asp http://www.beadinpath.com/c-VLUCITE.html http://www.venetianbeadshop.com/ The bone beads from Fire Mountain have larger holes that are great for hemp, but you could use regular beads and hang them off the macrame also. Here is an example of that: http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=125063 All of the stuff you need to do that is at Fire Mountain.
