Well ditto all of the above! The second, "cherry blossom" is BEAUTIFUL. Perfect choice of colours for an oriental themed bead. Well done Cornish, it's a cracker Very Happy

aww thanks Smile

I love the cherry blossom as well!

The oriental theme should be right up my kumihimo street! I made this braid using ribbon yarn and very fine rattail. I had intended to finish off the ends neatly with cones and a clasp, but I loved the look of the ribbon showing so this can just be knotted at the back of the neck and the ribbon and cord will just hang down. I hope it is not too tickly! I haven't got a clue what the chinese characters mean ... any ideas?

That's some great kumihimo Pru, how about it meaning

"Love, Live, Life" ?

lislarch Sun Nov 25, 2012 1:45 pm

I love those colours of ribbon together Pru, they go beautifully with the pendant.

Thank you Lisa and Batty. I like the sound of your translation, Batty!

**Odonata** Sun Nov 25, 2012 11:01 pm

Ooo, nice. Looks antique. The cord is gorgeous Pru. Looks very intricate.

ToBeadOrNotToBead Mon Nov 26, 2012 12:51 am

Thanks, Gillian. The cord is the easiest of the kumihimo braids. Using interesting yarns makes it look far more intricate than it is!

**Cornish** Mon Nov 26, 2012 12:58 am

Pru it is very lovely, as much as I would like to try kumihimo I think I'll leave it to experts like you. Very Happy

ToBeadOrNotToBead Mon Nov 26, 2012 10:19 am

Thanks Cornish. I am more of an enthusiast than an expert!

Ashlynn Mon Nov 26, 2012 3:10 pm

Lovely braid Pru, like the tails as an alternative finish. Beautiful ribbon yarn.

ToBeadOrNotToBead Tue Nov 27, 2012 2:12 pm

Thanks Ashlynn. It is actually a knitting yarn, so metre for metre it is nice and cheap.

**Tinker** Tue Nov 27, 2012 2:42 pm

I love that, clever, funky and elegant all in one

Mead Moon Thu Nov 29, 2012 9:23 pm

Rather surprisingly, I managed to get organised enough to make something for this month's challenge, so here it is: an enamelled pendant with a pierced bamboo design.

That's rather nice Elaine.

ToBeadOrNotToBead Fri Nov 30, 2012 1:20 am

I really love that pendant, Elaine. Great bamboo design. I bet that took some hard work.
