New Beads

I just finished these lovely beads yesterday afternoon. I followed a very interesting tutorial, by Humblebeads, which may be found here: Humblebeads' Shells and made a very large cane to decorate future beads. My color sense is not very good, and I'm at a loss as to where to start sometimes, so I followed her suggestions. I can't quite believe that I even made them myself.

I fell in love with her beads the moment I found them online, quite a while ago, and actually found some at a bead store, where I admired them greatly. The beads above, are from the SCRAPS of the cane I made. They are rich, deep in color, and extremely interesting, to me. They have been buffed but there is no other finish applied.
