About the Author
Karen DeSousa is well known for her Accent On: series of beaded ornament cover books. Karen taught herself kumihimo from books and then finally took several classes from world renown braiders. But she could never get over how expensive the basic braiding marudai and bobbins were. When she discovered the Kumihimo Disk, she could finally share her joy of braiding with others. Kumihimo-To-Go was the result. People loved to see her work but wanted to know more. This book is the answer to How did you do that? Karen can be reached at www.accentbead.com.

This review is from: Necklaces Braided on the Kumihimo Disk (Paperback)
I had just learned how to do Kumihimo, and was anxious to get to it. I bought this book and was absolutely floored at the different ideas presented here. Excellent instructions, great pictures, neat ideas. This book does it all.

Great addition of beads to Braiding,
This review is from: Necklaces Braided on the Kumihimo Disk (Paperback)
I have made most of the projects from this book and have loved them all. The best part of the book is using beads to braid into the braid cord. The only thing I did not like was I thought her suggested wire bail was unattractive. Other than that, the book is lovely. Note: I was recently on a plane creating a necklace (once you cut the cord, you don't need sharp objects so its perfect for plane travel) and one person walked by and asked if it was a form of meditation. I think the answer is yes -- and you get something beautiful at the end.
