Thanks for this video. I love the sound the tamas make tapping against the legs of the marudai. It's almost like a bamboo wind chime. Your finished piece is so beautiful. I'm considering ordering the book you featured but I have a couple questions, if you don't mind. Does the author take the beginner through the very beginning basics, IE loading the tama and the marudai? Does the author show how to load the marudai for different patterns, etc. I'm somewhat practiced with the kumihimo disk, plain & beaded, but I like the idea of using the marudai instead. It's been next to impossible to find videos that take the viewer step by step.
Michelle Gray this is a challenge to be sure as there are NOT a lot of videos for this! I believe Adrian Gaskell has one on UA-cam that you can search for. The book does not go through loading instructions. It has been my full intent to make a video for this so subscribe to my channel and click on the ‘bell’ icon to get notifications when I post something new.
Handmade Jewelry Haven Thank you so much for your input about the book. It’s not exactly inexpensive. I’ll subscribe in anticipation of your new tutorial.
Such a beautiful braid!
You have beautiful hands and nails! 😊
