Painted tube bead(s)

I have admired a beaded necklace for some time and decided I would try to use it as inspiration for a polymer clay version.  This is my first attempt, I have a few things I might do differently if I attempt to do this again.  I really love the colors.

Good thing I have a sense of humor, because I should not be proud of such a mess, but it does make me giggle when I look at it, also, "maybe" I can get some of it cleaned up, well maybe?
