let's be friends ...


A couple of weekends ago my mom and I took a beading class to learn a Japanese form of braiding called Kumihimo.  Using satin cording and a special braiding disk, you carefully work your way around the round board crossing the satin cords over one another and a stunning round braiding pattern emerges!  The class was loads of fun and, I couldn't resist from picking up the supplies to make a few more in different colors ... yea!
