Members rawhide1 Posted September 23, 2011 Members Report Posted September 23, 2011 Enrique Very nice work. I'm always impressed with y'alls work from Argentina. Thanks for sharing and a big welcome to a great site. Mike Quote
Members CLH Posted September 23, 2011 Members Report Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone I am new in this forum. My name is Enrique and I have been braiding rawhide for at least 28 years. I was born in Argentina where I learnt most of my techniques. I just finish this "Cattle Counter" a few days ago. A Cattle Counter has 10 sliding beads so it can be used as an abacus. Normally the 10 beads are identical but in this case it has 10 different beads so it is a sampler. I hope you like it. Cheers, Enrique Hello Enrique, Very nice work. I would like to meet you some time. I live 45 miles north of Dallas in the town of Krum. Contavt me by e mail and we'll get together, Thanks Clint Haverty Edited September 23, 2011 by CLH Quote

Members Ecapone Posted September 23, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 23, 2011 Bienvenidos, Enrique! ¡Somos felices de tenerle aquí con nosotros! Usted hace un cierto trabajo asombroso! That braided edge, as explained , sounds like a lengthened version of the "Mexican basket weave" border. I don't know how the Mexican Basket Weave border is done, but yes, it looks similar. The easiest border is from 1 to 3. It would look like a 4 thongs round braid. You go from 1 to 3 3 to 2 2 to 4 4 to 3 Etc. As you go back and forth, you have to braid to the pattern is over one under one all the time.

Members blackhammer Posted September 25, 2011 Members Report Posted September 25, 2011 I stand in awe of the fine work you guys do. Just beautiful. Quote Take your time. In a hurry.
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted September 25, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted September 25, 2011 There's another edge braid that looks really nice on straight runs and it is essentially the same pattern but ONLY in the 'over' path ....no 'under' braids.. It results in a herringbone braid. I don't think it covers corners as well, but that could just as well be poor technique on my part. I've run it 1-3, 1-4, but it gets too unstable for good coverage after that. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Members KnotHead Posted September 25, 2011 Members Report Posted September 25, 2011 I have done a 1-7 spread on one my own key chains that resulted in the herringbone. The closing of it was difficult to figure out. I even got close to making it the start finish disappear. I have this project that has been buggin me for the past week now. It just wont give me any kind of peace at all. Looks like I'm going to have to try it out to find out if it will actually look good when done. Have any of you all encountered this kind of thing with a project that is on your mind and wont leave you alone? B... Quote Best Regards, Brian Kidd
