Default Glassbeads-where to get them??

Evening folks...

Where do you recommend to buy glass beads for tying bloodworm patterns??

I am looking to tie size 12/14 patterns in red and black so need beads. I have done a wee google search but not much coming up.

Any tips would be great!!

I too raid the wifes jewelry making kit-beads stretch magic wires and all sorts of shiney things-only problem ive paid for most of it, doh!
seriosly though not all beads will fit over the barb or go round the bend of the hook
