Braiding for Beaders, Second Edition by Dilker

Description

This second edition of a highly popular book on kumihimo braiding for jewelry designers adds: 4 new pages with instructions for a focal Celtic knot and 2 new bracelet projects; more discussion of beaded braids; and an expanded explanation of the 4-warp braid. The bulk of the projects use a very easy-to-make 8-warp round braid that seems to be the most popular with beaders & jewelry designers (there is also one 4-warp braid project). The 8-warp braid is quick to produce on a foam kumihimo disk, is easy to master, and lends itself nicely to jewelry design. Add the explosion in textiles available to modern artists and there is no limit to what you can do with this one simple braid structure! Spiral-bound softcover, 32 pages, measures 8-1/2″” x 11″.
