Glass beads can be purchased online from <a href="http://www.firemountaingems.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.firemountaingems.com</a> or from any vendor on eBay by searching glass round beads white. The pre-dyed mohair I use can be purchased from Mini World Doll supplies in Blue Springs, MO. or from their website <a href="http://www.miniworlddolls.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.miniworlddolls.com</a> Unfortunately, most of our Hobby Lobby's and JoAnn's here in KC discontinued the Genesis Paints. Sample starter kits can be found on eBay which is more cost effective when starting out. Full pots can be purchased directly from the Genesis site which can be a bit expensive: <a href="http://www.genesisartistcolors.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.genesisartistcolors.com</a> I hope this is helpful.
