Here's some online bead shopping ideas:
Blue Moon Beads Seed 11/0 18gm Ceylon Green Aurora Borealis
Blue Moon Seed Beads are made of glass that is heated to a molten state. These small beads are often used in traditional Native American jewelry. The beads are extruded to have a large hole and thin wall, and the shape is tubular. They are excellent for needle-weaving techniques because of the consistency in size and shape and because their large holes will accommodate several passes of thread. Ceylon Green Aurora Borealis
