Does anyone know a good source for the little plastic beads that are in practice poi? I've been making my own with wheatberries or popcorn, or rice, or whatever grain is in my cupboard...
Also, what is the typical weight of practice poi?
I've tried my local art supply stores, but to no avail.
Thanks!!

Only thing I can think of is to get some hackey sacks and cut em open. They usually have semi-transparent beads in em.

Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.
