But beautiful is easy to do.

Now I'm gonna make you all really envious.

Who has anything as ugly as these?

Well Alan, the only ones i find REALLY ugly are the fimo ones.

They are glass; no ?

Are they? Glass or fimo, they are still pretty ugly...
I do kinda like that second squatting wood one with the E.T. eyes though. Don't find that one ugly at all Alan...

Three more.

Yeah, they're glass.

Modern made in a little town near Pare in East Jawa --- I forget the name of it, its peculiar sort of name --- but the technique is an old, legitimate technique. The beads made in the same way go back to before Majapahit, often used as burial goods, and the genuine Majapahit pelangi beads, some of which are quite big, are pretty valuable.

I'm sorry I didn't come up your standard of ugliness David, I did try. I'll have a look and see if I might have something uglier, but I don't think I do.

Yeah, the ET one is peculiar, I can't ID what it is supposed to be or where its from, and it really does look ETish
