Few links to the materials. Hope you find them useful. These are only suggestive, not particularly where I bought my tools. I have accumulated them over time mostly from brick and mortar stores.

• Firing (Bisque) at cone 06. (I don't own a kiln, so I take my pieces to a pottery studio close by and get it fired in an electric kiln there)
• Wire used: Nichrome wire gauge 28 for stick beads and ghungroo beads; gauge 26 for earrings and 24 for pendants.
