Hi, I made a Beds fan in colors. The traditional
Beds methods do not translate readily to colors, so
adaptations must be made. I had to have one color
just cross under a trail to continue on the other side
instead of trading pairs with the trail. There was
also extra starting and stopping of threads for the
color changes. Doing what must be done to get the
color where you want it, must come ahead of strict
traditional methods, but the results can be wonderful.
Be adventuresome and give it a try.

Beds is not given to be made in color, but when I
got the spirit of it, I was hooked. The principal
difficulty, ahem! Challenge, is to find ways to
change colors. I just checked and my picture of it
is still on the Arachne webshots.

I think I have looked at this before but did not
study it. It is a very neat design and I love the
changing colors. May I ask how you did the barley
leaves as I thought that in Beds the side leaves
were worked by pairs that go into and out of the
center stalk? Did you have to keep removing a color
worker or did you carry it along some how?
On the large flower, did the worker threads go
into the center as on my computer it appears to be
all green in the center?
