Does anyone know any websites that have craft ideas using mardi gras beads?

I have tons of mardi gras beads, and love arts and crafts, but can not seem to come up with any ideas of what I can do with them. Has anyone ever come across any websites that might have some ideas...or does anyone out there have any ideas themself?

    I saw some mosaics once that were made totally from very bright Mardi Gras beads… they were fabulous! Unfortunately, I can’t find any photos of that woman’s work now, but here are a few other people who do mosaics with Mardi Gras beads:

    And these are some melted beads made into lamp shades, etc.:
