Karen DeSousa's second kumihimo book has more of everything. More braids. More patterns. More necklaces. More great tips for making and finishing beautiful braids. It's suitable for beginners and challenging enough for more experienced braiders. The book revisits the round braid (for beginners) and then pumps it up by adding seed beads and finishes without findings. The book includes the Laramie twist, the 16 bobbin Roundabout, a different round braid called the Top and Bottom Tango that lets you evenly space out beads and crystals, and the Color Tipped Swirl which puts an edge of color to a fabulous twist braid. If that weren't enough, the book then tells you how to turn these great braids into beautiful necklaces. Fun, elegant, artistic, great for all ages.

Kumihimo review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: More Necklaces Braided on the Kumihimo Disk (Paperback)
I recently received "More Necklaces Braided on the Kumihimo Disk" by Karen DeSousa. It was similar to the first book, but had some exciting new braided designs.
I was having a problem making one of the designs and sent an e-mail to Karen. She answered very promptly with some written instructions that helped me understand the design. Actually, they followed the book's braiding chart exactly. It was my own lack of attention that was my problem, but Karen wanted to help. When I wrote her to thank her and tell her I was successful, she wrote back again wishing me success. How many authors would do that?

This review is from: More Necklaces Braided on the Kumihimo Disk (Paperback)
I was hoping for a book that used more beads/crystals in the design, gave information on different endings for the design, and not so much cords/ribbons etc.

This review is from: More Necklaces Braided on the Kumihimo Disk (Paperback)
This book gave me some new ideas for a familiar craft. The new "twist" are simple to do but create beautiful results. Great for a beginner even.
