Friday Fugly,

Or, beads only a creator could love.

So one of the things I've been meaning to do is collect the various failures I've had over the years and show 'em off, cuz of 'em are pretty spectacularly bad. I thought I'd call the feature `Friday Fuglies'. With a suitably awful background, of course.

First step, though: don't run of out of propane, mid-bead.

I generally loathe the so-called (by Scott McCloud, no less!) ugly style of comic drawing; but oddly enough I find my failures so ugly they verge on a sort of horrifying cuteness.

Well, you know, it takes all kinds.

Some friday fuglies are sort of cute. But this one, alas, is just a fugly failure. Originally posted 20nov08.

Most people think of holepops as mistakes, but I consider them opportunities. Originally posted 11nov08.

 

A twofer of friday fugly and frustrating, not only for the objects, but the photography too. Sometimes, you just can't win.. Originally posted 24oct08.

 

Even simple beads may need some development before getting out of the fugly category.. Originally posted 17oct08.

 

Some of these beads are actually edging out of the friday fugly category in this 300+ exercise to clean up my floral trailing. Originally posted 15oct08.
