More 'UGLY' Beads!

Thanks for the great response to the last batch of 'ugly' beads I posted! It is really fun for me to play around with the colors and selling these little gems helps pay for the 'pretty' beads! You all are the best! I have a few more to add the list. These are in pairs, so there are 2 of each available - perfect for a pair of earrings or use them individually! I mix and match mine and put them into bracelets. They are really fun and I sell a lot of these!

I work these really fast mainly to test color and reaction so they are not perfect but are still really beautiful and very useable!

They sell for $4 a set plus shipping. If you want one I will send singles @ $2 each. They are all

#1 -  12mm These have a few bubbles but are really beautiful beads!

#2 - 12mm  I like these because they are feminine yet have a very earthy feel. They really match a lot of things - not just pink!

#3 - 11mm (SOLD)

#4 - 14mm  LOVE THESE! Again, a cople tiny bubbles. The second bead has a sharp top, not noce and even, but a bead cap or wore will fix this. I will file it down a bit so it is not sharp.

#5 - 14mm (SOLD)



#6 - 14mm (I have 4) I think I will call this Mars meets Venus - What do you think? I really like the feminine pink wrapped around the more masculine brown.

(SOLD)

#7 - 12mm  These feel like ocean movement to me and I love the ocean! Really pretty!

(SOLD)

#8 - 10mm  I tried to work this too hot so the bead on the left hass some bubbles. The camera really magnifies them. The bead is really pretty. The one on the right is nearly bubble free!

(SOLD)

#9 - 14mm

Oooohhhhh....Aaaaahhhhhh!

(SOLD)

#10 - 13mm

#11 -  I have 4 of these 2 @ 10mm, 2 @ 12mm
(SOLD)

#12 - 12mm

#13- 12mm I have 4 of these. 3 @ 12mm, and 1 @ 15mm

#14 - 10mm x 18mmSomething a little different!

I think that's it for now! Now I will work up bead sets from these testers! They will be posted at jujuglass.etsy.com in a couple weeks. Meanwhile, if you are interested in these, just contact me here or shoot an email to jujuartstudio@gmail.com. Or I am on facebook JuJu Art Studio, too!



UGLY BEADS!

I am finally getting around to posting my 'Ugly Beads'. I get a lot of requests for these! They aren't really ugly...they are my test beads. Here you can see what color combos I am playing with and you have the opportunity to purchase these beads at a discount. There are only one or two of each of these. Remember, they were made quickly and I really don't work the shape - I am working on color and sometimes size with these. Thay are fun and perfect if you only need one bead or want to work on mixing colors together in your designs! These sell for $2 each. Shipping runs about $2.50 for however many beads you want.

The beads below are 15mm and larger. They are all round, but if you like color combo I can make them in many different shapes and sizes.

There are 2 pictures of most to give you an idea of the full bead. Some only have one. They are still on the mandrel - fresh out of the kiln! I will clean them and have them all ready to be used!

 The bead below is on a larger mandrel so the hole is perfect for wire working! The others are on 1/16 mandrels - great for regular type beading meaning headpins and thin beading wire.

 This bead had something on the glass I encased it in. I almost just tossed it but I decided I liked the effect. It really defines the pretty colors of this bead.

That's it at the studio today! I will be posting some art work soon! Check back next weekend!
