More Hollow Beads

These are four recent hollow beads. The frontmost is plain clear; the one behind it has some goldstone which you can see if you look carefully; to the right is a clear one with a cobalt core, and in back is the trickiest of the bunch, a hollow MOP bead using the topaz MOP from C&R Loo.

I seem to have the technique more or less down now but still cannot figure out how to make these beads really interesting and/or more attractive. I also can't figure out how to work them into a jewellery design -- they seem too huge for earrings and rather overpowering even for a necklace.
