One look at the cover of this book will grab your attention. There are so many beaded braids; they are crammed on top of each other. Beads & Braids is a book every bead and fibre lover should have on their bookshelf even if you do not want to make Kumihimo braids. It is full of luxurious colour, designs and ideas that will give you hours of pleasure. Instructions for warping, tools, materials are included, however, I would advise you purchase Beginners Guide to Kumihimo Braids by Jacqui before starting a project in this or any other Kumihimo braid book.
