Acrylic paint and some fine, detail paint brushes are used to decorate the art beads with color. The beads do not have to be decorated with the pyrographic application. Paint will do for those who are not pyrographic maniacs. Whatever is decided try making a few sketches before getting started. It helps to have extra beads to do a little experimenting. Have fun as the work progresses. Keep in mind the subject is extreme Halloween.

The beads pictured here were crafted by Jill Gautreaux, a high school student who works at Adrift Art Studio. They are 16mm oval beads with a natural finish. These were chosen to best demonstrate ideas and suggestions for this hub. Jill turned out an assortment of designs to help offer ideas for this extreme Halloween bracelet jewelry. She used some bright colors when painting the pyrographic applications. Simple lines were drawn with the wood burning pen to suggest various Halloween themes.

The finished bauble was enhanced with emerald green, crystal beads to add that creepy mystery often felt about witches. She is a shining example of how various applications can be done on the same kind of natural wooden bead.

The second picture of a ghoul with empty, orange eyes was attached to a metal bar and then added to a simple silver toned chain. It features a barrel clasp and is simple yet striking in that simplicity. A couple of smaller beads,one white wooden bead and one smaller glass bead were added top and bottom lending a little style to the assemblage.
