I make a lot of beaded jewellery including; necklaces, bracelets, earrings, the usual and would like to know if anyone knows where I can get some really decorative and interesting beads from, please? At the moment, I have been buying them from my local Hobbycraft shop, but would now like something a little more interesting. As I feel like I have used most of the beads that they have in store.

While they do have really pretty ones available, I would love to find some more decorative or unusual ones.

Any sizes, shapes, textures and colours. These are the types of beads that I usually buy, I pick my own and fill plastic tubs. While they are beautiful beads, I would really love something extra that stands out a little bit more. I would love to get some recommendations please.

I am really even open to making some beads myself, at least them I can have exactly what I want. But it does look very complicated and I really wouldn't know where to start. So if anyone could recommend a kit maybe that would be good too.
