Judy Mallow, author of "Pine Needle Basketry - From the Forest Floor to the Finished Project" has her own web site. She carries Coiling supplies, large-eye Sharps needles, resin cast Centers (Betel Nut, Geodes, Artwoods), on-line Coiling Classes (new), and Sinew in Cards, 1/4 lb & 1/2 lb large spools. www.primpines.com
Matoska Trading Company has a great selection of Sinew and the more Native American glass, bone, wood, and horn Beads. www.matoska.com
Turtle Feathers has the smaller spools (1 oz & 4 oz) of Sinew in the "Earth Tones" and really unusual hand-carved wooden Display Stands at very reasonable prices. www.turtlefeathers.net

***MORE WEB SITES WILL BE ADDED....go to my LINKS (information box) for 2 more great suppliers....***
Well known Stores: Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby and Michaels.
Wal-Mart....Bags of loose Natural Raffia ($2.00), Workable Fixatif Spray, craft paints, brushes, Beads (small count bags & large mixed glass containers), craft bead Organizers, Quilter's leather Thimble, Dritz needle pullers(3), bags of natural/dyed Feathers(1 oz-3 oz), small cards of Leather Laces(16-25 ft), some natural Shell ornments and very small mini-spools of Sinew in Natural, White & Black(1 oz).
Hobby Lobby....a larger selection of everything, prices will match or beat Wal-Mart. Always check the *Clearance* section for Leather Laces, Beads and Feathers. Once in a while I can find a large (1/2 lb) spool of the Lighter Yellow Sinew ($12. - $13.)
Michael's....another Craft store.... their prices are higher than the 2 stores mentioned above (in my area). After their yearly inventory (Dec-Jan) I can find some items that have been marked-down. They have all the SAME items mentioned in the other stores.
