Where to find materials? Check local thrift stores, antique stores, yard sales, your family/friends/church. Just ask for old and broken jewelry and you'll find yourself loaded pretty quickly. As for beads and findings, look at Amazon.com, Fire Mountain Gems, Etsy, and ebay. For local shops, Michaels and JoAnn stores almost always has some good sales on beads and findings. The best place for unique beads in Richmond is Bangles and Beads in Carytown. They are pricey but worth it for special projects.
