Looking over some archived photos, I came across this close-up of a ghost cane<\/a> bead that I had used in a chunky handmade jewelry<\/a> bracelet, which also included some unique flower petal beads<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I wanted to show about this bead in particular, is how it is NOT perfectly round. Also, the size if the bead does not exactly match all of the other beads in the bracelet. This is because they were all lovingly created by hand. Each one has a unique organic feel that makes them truly one-of-a-kind.<\/span><\/p>\n

This handmade aspect is why I rarely use a bead roller<\/a>. Beads that come from those bead rolling devices end up looking too perfect for most of my jewelry making projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think some imperfection adds appeal to handmade polymer clay beads, as compared to commercially manufactured beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you include handmade beads in your jewelry projects, especially if you make them yourself, you are saying to your customers that each piece is unique. A part of you. A true piece of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imperfection… what could be more perfect than that? Do you agree? Or perhaps you have a different opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should realize by now that it’s OK to (nicely)<\/em> disagree here at my blog. Every one has their own opinion and I’m happy to hear yours. Since we can’t all chat with each other in person, it’s fun to at least be able to yak back and forth in the comments section below.<\/span><\/p>\n
