The traditional Japanese art of cord braiding--known as kumihimo--
has been around for centuries. The technique, which uses a loom and
several strands of silk thread, was once used to create the strong,
slender cords that reinforced samurai warrior armor. Today, it is
primarily used to make beautiful, color-drenched cords for jewelry
and other decorative items. In "Twist, Turn, & Tie 50 Japanese
Kumihimo Braids," readers will get everything they need to get
started in this ancient craft, including a mini braiding loom
They'll also find:
- An overview of tools and materials from looms to bobbins to
glues to beads
- Step-by-step instructions for basic loom braiding, handling
threads, beads, and more
- 50 gorgeous projects from simple beginner braids to complex
beaded cords
- 400 full-color photographs for inspirations and
instruction
With details on kumihimo terminology, starting and finishing
braids, and calculating thread and bead counts, this book is an
ideal guide for new braiders.
