Making cords is fun, easy and fast. In fact, a technique that looks this great shouldn't be this easy! Kumihimo (pronounced koo-mee-HEE-mo) is the ancient art of Japanese board braiding. While there are many braid structures that can be worked within the universe of board braiding, this booklet will concentrate on one easy-to-master braid. This braid can be made by children as young as 7; 'tweens are huge fans of it; teenagers tend to be "speed braiders"; and adults find it to be "Zen-like", relaxing and engaging without requiring concentration. The projects in this booklet progress from easy to more advanced. Hangable softcover, 24 pages, measures 5-1/" x 8-1/2

In samenwerking met Anne Dilker, Kumihimo expert, heeft de Beadsmith macramé borden ontwikkelt. Aangezien macramé weer helemaal hip is, komt dit uitstekend van pas. Het gebruik van een macramé bord kan helpen om een wirwar van koord te voorkomen en maakt het creëren van een mooi ontwerp een stuk eenvoudiger. De macramé borden hebben aan alle kanten inkepingen om koorden op hun plaats te houden. Daarnaast zijn de borden voorzien van een rooster, zodat je eenvoudig jouw sieraad op de juiste lengte kunt maken.
