This Muko, Uganda artist did a fun mix and match finish with different spacers connecting the hand made bead to the post. I love when an artist adds a little bit of humor to their work. She must have enjoyed seeing how the paper she selected and rolled created a mix of colors in the final beads. A coat of poly made the beads sturdy and strong. About 1.5 inches in length, nice and lightweight they make a lovely little gift.
