Kumihimo is the ancient Japanese art of braiding. In fact, kumihimo means "coming together of threads" in Japanese.
Using the book NECKLACES BRAIDED ON THE KUMIHIMO DISK by Karen DeSousa and taking a class at Beads in Tampa I was able to complete my first necklace.
The beads in this example are a mix of 3 mm pearls, chips, #5 triangles, #6 seed beads, 4 mm cubes, magatama drops, 3.4 mm drops and 6 mm crystal rondelles
