    well first off what kind of jewelry do you want to make? you casn start with elastic and beads... up to hemp knotting and beads to wire wrapping all the way up to soldering and silver and goldshithery.

    Typo Fleassy? :eek: lol

    Check out www.firemountaingems.com as well. :) They have an amazing bead selection, and all the pieces parts that you would need to get started... and I believe their site has projects tutorials.

    I use Firemountain, and they're great. I hear they're overpriced, though.

    ahem (quick plug for my own stuff)
    nothing compares to phat glass art beads and pendants! (hummblebee.com)
    they make for some nice jewelry - whether macrame or traditional beadwork!
    sorry, I'm just getting a little bit desparate! :)
    whatever you end up with, stick with it and don't let yourself get frustrated. It feels so worth it to make your own stuff...

    I have some easy and good money making ideas at my kits and tutorial page. I don't have many because I only list stuff that I personally know that sells well.
