Marne does and I think Jayzmummy and Dingle have done some bits too.

I'm just starting so I would be no use at offering any advice.

I make beaded jewellery too but I am self taught (ie. I make it up as I go along Grin)

I do a bit but again just a self-taught amateur. I do have some good sites for buying beads and findings in my favourites though...

They're all good in different ways, I'm afraid. Depends what kind of theoretical jewellery she would theoretically like to make. I guess the first one, bead addict is probably best overall, and it's got a fair bit of instructional stuff on it (hints and tips section).

What I did was to try and make versions of the kinds of necklaces I had that I liked (probably not your taste cos you're such a fusspot about style :o), so I bought some thin leather thonging stuff to start with. John Lewis does sort of starter bead kits and books usually, too.

Yes, really vile, most of them. I considered saying that was the kind of stuff I like and trying to sound hurt but thought the better of it....
