Since the kumihimo workshop in November, I have become obsessed with braid and braiding. Using the kumiloom disk I started and braided several key chains. Then my good friend Barbara loaned me her Marudai and I began my first project on in. She also gave me enough silk to complete a flat braid obijime and I finished it.
Santa Claus was good to me and brought me my own marudai and accessories and I began my second obijime project that I finished yesterday.
It is fun and repetitive, but not mindless, as I still have a couple of mistakes in each of the projects from not paying attention, gettting lost or getting the order wrong (sound familiar to doing temae?).
Anyway, for my next project I am going to make cords for a chabako shifuku set. I already know how to make shifuku, but cannot get the cords for them.
