The Book of Braids

Providing a new way of looking at braid making, one that helps with understanding general principles rather than following set procedures, Jacqui Carey takes you beyond her book Creative Kumihimo. Topics include the choice of materials and equipment, demonstrating the affect these decisions will have on the finished project. In addition, details will show how the selection of braid sequence and color arrangement will produce specific structures and patterns, and how the maker’s working practice can impact on the final braid. Knowledge of kumihimo on a maradai is expected.
