Rio Grande http://www.riogrande.com- Great site for jewelry making supplies, especially metalsmithing. The prices are very good, and shipping is fast.
Fire Mountain Gems http://www.firemountaingems.com- I’m sure everyone is familiar with FMG, but they certainly deserve a mention. Great place to buy sterling silver wire especially, and beads of all kinds. They also have a good projects gallery with free design tutorials.
Mintd http://www.mintd.com- A newer site for selling handmade products. It’s very beautiful, but still a little finicky functionally. It’s based in Australia, and seems to be growing rapidly.
Indie Public http://www.indiepublic.com- A great place for independant artists to share their work and get some good exposure, as well as networking opportunities. You can’t sell items on there directly, but can show your items and link back to your main site.
All Wired Up by Mark Lareau- This book taught me all of my basic wire work. It has great diagrams and very clear instructions for anyone just beginning to work with wire.
http://www.flickr.com for either blogging or posting your pictures for people to see. Lots of groups to join so you are giving yourself more exposure.
http://www.madeit.com.au this is another handmade website,it is based in Australia.
http://jewelrygalore.top-site-list.com/ is a website where you can put your shop and get a voting code to link to your website. It is another form to advertise your website.
