I have been exploring lots of braiding techniques, one of the main techniques is called Kumihimo. Kumihimo is a type of japanese braiding which looks really complicated to begin with, but once you learn the rhythm its easy enough to follow. The problem with it, is that if you do it by hand it takes a really long time. With practice you begin to get gradually faster. This week I have also experimented with braiding with bead, plaits, and making my own braids by using the cording foot on the bernina's.
On the left and right hand sides are the braids I produced on the cording foot on the Bernina. In the middle are the glass bead constructions I have been sampling.
