  3. Six strands of roo, braided in the middle of the strands and folded to make the loop and tied with a cotton constrictor knot. I now have 12 strands hanging down. I braided 4 strands to make a core and then braided the remaining 8 around the core. cheers caroline

  12. hey bevo.....this was the first time i have done this braid...i am not sure how it was meant to turn out, i dont mind the way it looks and actually like the textured result as against the smooth look of a normal braid, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!! Ps...some pics of the way it should look would be great...ta

  16. Braiding and knots have always been a challenge for me...so this year i have made a big effort to improve and extend myself. Here is a necklace i made....it is a 8 braid over a core with some knots at the end....the guide i followed said it was a gaucho braid and it had four steps that had to be repeated....so i had to undo it a few times when i lost concentration!!!!
  17. I have used the art spectum acrylics on my masks...they spray quite well and have a nice pearl white that can be mixed with the other colors, but i have never mixed them with leather dyes. Here is the result i had...the colors were nice, but it certainly wasnt one of my best mask efforts.
