Small Clay Beads - Mali (OS801)

These have a great rustic, irregular quality to them. The only problem I had is that they are relatively fragile and break/crumble/chip easily, so care must be taken when working with them and choosing their uses.

These beads are tiny and very irregular in shape. By themselves they may not look as pretty, but I'm sure they will look nice when incorporated with other beads. Very rustic and crude looking.

These are the cutest little beads. They're super lightweight with a little bit of colour variation (pretty much as the photo shows). I would prefer to have more round beads in the strand, but the variety of shapes lend themselves nicely for use in different projects.

I loved the first strand I ordered; I could have used the strand "as is" for a necklace with the multi-colored, multi-shaped beads. The second strand I ordered included smaller beads, all one pale color (less exciting). As with most of handmade beads, expect variation.

Adorable little beads - I think they will make very unique spacers for a long-ish necklace :)
