Since then she has specialised in Kumihimo, drawn to the subject through her love of Art and Maths. Based in Devon with her family, Jacqui divides her work time between making, teaching, writing, researching and demonstrating. More than 200 beautiful braids with photographs and clear colour charts. Choose from over 200 designs and give the perfect finishing touch to clothing, soft furnishings, accessories, greeting cards, and gift boxes; or make pretty friendship bracelets. Experiment with texture and colour to create gilded, beaded and jewelled braids. Unlike shop-bought versions, yours can be custom designed to perfectly math your own unique craft projects. The main directory is a sumptuous collection of designs, organized according to structure, from twisted and knotted braids to more elaborate looped and woven pieces. Each braid features a close-up photograph, a recipe of materials required per length, step-by-step instructions, and a diagram showing the order and direction of work. Even beginners can braid with confidence, as all core techniques are clearly demonstrated with easy-to-follow photographs, and little or no equipment is needed.
