One particularly useful site is http://jewelrymaking.about.com/. It is maintained by Tammy Powley who is an author of several books such as ‘Making Designer Bead and Wire Jewelry’ and ‘Jewelry and Beading Designs for Dummies’.

For all you beading novices you might find her section entitled ‘Beginners Corner’ useful http://jewelrymaking.about.com/od/beginnerscorner/
