Where to Get What You Need

So, now you know a few techniques and you're hooked on beading.  Where do you go to get more information on different techniques?  Where do you get the materials to do the projects?  Where do you get the money to do the projects?  This page will (hopefully) answer the first two questions, the third, I'm afraid is up to you, though I would prefer you do so in a legal fashion.

Where to get more information is very easy to answer.  The first and best place to try is your local library.  The next best place is a bookstore, the used bookstores do have some books for very little money which can't be said of the chain bookstores.  Then, of course, is the Internet which, since you are sitting in front of a computer reading this is a ...ahem! logical next place to look.  So I will provide you with some links, though the best way to search is Google entering "beads" or "beadcraft" in the search box.

Where to get materials to make the pretty things is even easier to answer.  I will give you links to some vendors on the Internet and addresses of some actual stores you can go into in the Montreal area.
