New to me, but very old to some.
The ancient Japanese art form of Kumihimo braiding has been around since the 8th century.
I recently discovered this by accident. While perusing an online bead shop and seeing mention of certain stringing materials being used for this art form. I looked it up and found it was fairly simple.
So I ordered the kit for a mere $12.
The Kit
I had to wait till this past weekend to try it. It took a little to get the rythum. The kit came with a ket chain project and handy directions. I found it easy but challenging in the beginning. It was fun learning about a “new” craft and I will definetly use this technique in future projects.
My first braid
