Project Map

by Karen Marshall

Inspired by a photograph of a jungle bird by Alvaro Cubero, this special creature in bright blues and greens just commands our attention. Karen created a 3-piece sample that feels like being deep in the Amazon and finding a rare bird briefly perching on a branch. Spotted on Flickr, the intensity of bright colors just pop and demand our attention. This is such a fun project intended for beaders of every level. Start by watching Stackable Ladder video and then refer to the Project Map below and Skill Builders listed. If you would like tips on selecting your own colors, feel free to download our Class Handout, Tricks of the Trade. It is chock full of ideas on paletting by color. We hope you enjoy!
