Perfectly Imperfect Beads

It's hard for me to make beads that aren't uniform... once I get an idea in my head of what I want to make, I want that particular set to be perfect and all the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for certain jewelry designs, but it makes me feel like I'm not being adventurous enough sometimes. So I tried yesterday to make beads that weren't quite so "perfect." They're definitely not uniform, but what I realized was that once I made the first imperfect one of the set, I kept trying to make the others just like it. Luckily for my experiment, the glass and the torch wouldn't let them be the same. These are the beads that came out of it.
