The traditional Japanese craft
of Kumihimo is clearly explained in this hands-on resource that
is suitable for beginners but also offers enough complexity for
seasoned braiders. Kumihimo braids are made of silk threads and
were originally used as ties, cording, and belts for clothing
and closures for Samurai warriors. Detailed step-by-step photographs
present six projects to make a variety of braids, and tips on
equipment and advice for developing the projects are included.
By using a variety of patterns, colors, and textures, more than
70 other braids can be used to make a range of stunning necklaces,
bracelets, cords, and other fashion accessories. |
