    I believe Kim was thinking out loud in regard to sources her former
    associate uses. I do not believe she was planning to make additional
    profit in reselling beads. I do believe Lisa's start of this thread
    was excellent. The answers have shown the nature of the replier. 

    At UCSD's Craft Center, both instructors begin each semester with a
    handout listing sources and suppliers. Nothing is withheld. In fact,
    when for silver, there is a price break for a larger purchase, it is
    suggested classmates get together for a group purchase. 

    Where the supplier is "wholesale only," several students could make
    a group purchase to qualify for the price break. Withholding sources
    is just not cool, certainly not for the small profit to be made in
    reselling. 

    Texturing methods, well that has been discussed here before, is
    probably in the archives, and i know if I were to put that question
    out, the floodgates would open. 

    Bless Orchid and its members who with Hanuman's hand have made this
    the greatest resource. 

    The Orchid Dinner was wonderful, as it always is. I cherish my
    annual hugs from online friends in distant places. The silent auction
    was great, so many first class items to bid on. My personal thanks to
    Orchid member generosity. 

Hugs
Terrie
