After retiringfrom a career in hospital pharmacy, she opened PoppyField Bead Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Margoteaches many classes at her store and workshops acrossthe United States. Her website is www.poppyfield.com.Color TipChanging colors can be challenging. Begin the bracelet withthree sizes of beads all in the same color. After a few rows,change the color of one of the sizes of beads. Work a couplerows, then change the next size of bead to the new color.Work another couple of rows, then change the next size beadto the new color. Work a few rows, then start changing colorsagain. For a more layered look, change the color of only oneof the bead sizes. In the black bracelet, the size 11 s changecolor every 3–5 rows, appearing to shift behind the larger size8 s. Since it’s easier to make a bracelet with only one size ofbead that shifts colors, you might try such a bracelet first,especially if right-angle weave is a new stitch for you.More wonderful beadwork projects are available at shop.beadingdaily.com/jewelryprojects 2012 Interweave Press LLC.
