HorsehairBraider Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Hi people - I have not been around for a while but have time now to join in once and a while. I don't usually use a 12-strand gaucho braid in my work, but a customer asked specifically to have a bracelet made of it so I did one and thought you'd like to see. This bracelet commemorates two horses that belong to the customer and I think she'll be pleased with how it came out. Here is a close-up so you can see it better: Quote They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer.

HorsehairBraider Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Posted January 12, 2011 Thank you very much! Knots used are a pineapple for the ends and they are on a 7 part 6 bight casa or foundation knot. The sliding adjuster knots are herringbone knots, on a 5 part 4 bight casa. Under the herringbone is a ring knot. Everything is of two passes.

Members broncstompinben Posted January 13, 2011 Members Report Posted January 13, 2011 When you braid horsehair do you coat your strands in some kind of cream to get them to stay together and uniform? Quote
