I am just purchased a kit for lampwork and I am interested in other beading products and jewelry making tips? Any tips would be appreciated.

Books & Magazines! I have been making jewelry with hemp and beads for years and just recently started branching out to work with wire and metals. I didn’t even know what eyepins were used for until I grabbed a book or two. The "for dummies" series has some really great beading/jewelry making books with simple instructions and projects that give a lot of inspiration for more difficult projects.
There’s a great website with supplies, I think its called fire mountain gems & beads, they also have project ideas and instructions.
Look in fashion magazines and see what’s shown – if you take a close look at some of the pieces you can figure out how they’re made.
feel free to e-mail if you have more questions about it, I’ll try to help the best I can!
