Default where to get wholesale?

ive been beading for several years now, particularly Swarovski Crystal beading, and lately have been picking up making those figurines with the ceramic doll heads. ive been searching where to get all these things wholesale, as im deciding to get a little more serious and turn this into a business. but more particularly, ive been searching for a long time all over the internet on where to get those clay heads...does anyone have any sources? of course local stores wont tell me where they get their supplies, all i know is that most of them get them direct from taiwan...can anyone help me? here are some pictures of what im talking about. thank you for any help

Sorry, I just checked with the only wholesaler that I know of (John Bead) and couldn't find anything there.
(I haven't got a clue how they work, I live near them and have a friend with a membership. she takes me occasionally.)

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Have you ever thought about making them yourself out of polymer clay? Craft stores sell push molds that you can make faces and all kinds of neat stuff with. I just found 4 of them for a friend at a yard sale this morning. The original price tag says $5.99. Not too bad for something you can use over and over again.

fyi - I'm not familiar with polymer clay and how it works, so this is just a suggestion. I know people make some beautiful things with it though.

Good luck finding or making what you need.
