Does anyone work with Jewelry wrapping/wire, beading etc who would be willing to give me some pointers and tips for getting started, such as about different types of wire etc. I've done a few pieces, but I'm not sure if I am using the best type of wire.

I would also like to know what some of your favorite products are like glues for glass (gluieng glass tiles etc to glass jars) or different glass paints. (I want to make a "mosaic" in a frame with SeaGlass I have collected, so I want to glue the sea glass to the plate glass from the frame)

What is the best type of glue for applying "rhinestones" to a T-shirt? I want to make a rhinestone Mikey head on a shirt for my DD, but the stones I want to use are tiny, so I am not sure the best way to do it.

I have soooo many ideas, and projects in mind, but just don't know how or where to get started. I live in my local Michael's store, but no one there is particularly knowledgeable or helpful:confused3 and the closest HobbyLobby or ACMoore's is about an hour away....:sad:
 
I've seen syringes you can put glue in for working with small rhinestones...maybe that and some tweezers?
