Taking a braid for a walk

A long-held interest is the idea of fabrication – making my own materials. Kumihimo braiding is quite fascinating and has kept me busy over winter.

I love the thought of working with these patterned braids in a sculptural way—using them as lines, braiding (ha! new word – metabraid), knitting, weaving. And I also love that I can use any type of thread—cotton, wool, silk, wire—the list is endless, as is the potential for patterning.

BTW this is Day 999/2 💙

Would you consider a commission braid of 22′, if so, cost?

Hi Tara
Thanks for your inquiry. I’m working towards an exhibition at the moment so not taking on any commission work. Hope you find what you are looking for! Cheers Deidhre

Kumihimo is just so meditative, isn’t it? I love the patterns in your braids!

Thanks Anita – yes meditative and magical – although at the moment I’m trying to make one look like a green python’s skin and I really have to concentrate!
