HorsehairBraider Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Greetings fellow braiders! I was sure busy over the months leading up to the holiday season. I call it the Christmas Crisis. However I did get to make some neat stuff, and this is one thing I thought you all might enjoy seeing. This was for a lady in CA. Her horse had passed away and she saved the tail. I used up pretty much all the hair she sent me, but I made more than just this hatband. The hatband turned out really neat. Here it is: And of course, you'll all want to see the details. Here are the knots, and a close-up of the braided length: Let me know what you think! I hope everyone had a great holiday, and may 2010 (the start of a new decade!) be lots better than 2009. Happy trails! Quote They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer.
