Kumihimo

I had an impulse purchase of a kumihimo foam disk a few weeks ago and I’ve been braiding ever since – I’ve got a little addicted.  I’ve been trying out various cords and threads and throwing in some seed beads.  Here are a few examples…

I like that the disk is so lightweight and portable.  I’ll keep it in my bag so if I ever find myself sitting somewhere (on a train, at the hairdressers….) I’ve got something to keep me occupied.  Most of the things that I do require tools and space (I’d look a bit deranged in the hairdressers with a hammer or torch!!) so it is good to find something that I can take out and about with me.
