I am a glass bead maker and one of the best resource for glass beadmakers is definately one of two places. Both have tutorial sections, show and tells, critiques, and wonderful people who will share their knowledge with you.
1. Glass Forums at Wet Canvas!
2. Lampwork Etc. Forums

Here is a website I found for you to give you some instructions. It may be what you already know, but it might lead into something else too. Just type in hand blown bead patterns and see what happens.
I am a jewelry maker and thrive to find people like you out on the web. If you are interested in doing business, contact me at dekedo1@yahoo.com. just title it bead maker and I will open your email. Hope this helps you honey!

I’ve been dabbling a bit, but will be doing an independent study in this very subject for the next few months. I don’t have a website for you, but of all the books I’ve looked at, Making Glass Beads, by Cindy Jenkins seems to be the best, and show how to make a multitude of different beads. And the directions are really clear, too.

Try the books by Cindy Jenkins – you may be able to find them on amazon.com at a cheaper rate than new, too.
I recommend that you join the ISGB, International Society of Glass Beadmakers as well.
