Beaders, please help

[IvyWitch]

I am looking to make specially designed "power bracelets" (I'm sure we all remember that fad..), but I am running into a problem. I can't seem to find for the life of me a place that sells the 3 hole beads and the funky tube thing on the end.

Does anyone know a place online that sells them in a wide variety?

Also....I am interested in making buddhist style malas and I also can't find a place that sells the tassels or the knot that goes on the end.

Is that a 3 hole bead? It looks like it might not be. Iv seen the other peice thingy at craft stores like michaels.

that particular one isn't a 3 hole, I just kinda put it in for reference.

Any idea what the tube like bead is called?

(I'm obviously not searching for the right thing in their online catalog, but I'm pretty sure I've seen them in their print catalog)

http://www.riogrande.com has THE BEST selection of jewelry findings and beads, but they unfortunately don't have an online catalog. Their catalog is actually printed in three volumes, each the size of an old (1960s) Sears catalog!

I think the starter bead is actually two beads. The kind of hour glass like shaped bead is on top of another regular bead.

I'll try ordering a Rio catalog.

Fre mountain was my first try, and I actually called and asked them, and they don't carry either of the things I'm looking for. =/ However they do carry premade power bracelets. The person I spoke to said she'd talk to the buyer about getting them.

Yeah, the place I got the picture from was selling them as a set of two. But thier selection was really limited. Really, I'm looking for a place that sells both individually or as a set.
