Cinchas

[hidepounder]

This is another thread I missed the first and second time around.....I'm glad it got bumped! Beautiful cinches! And after trying all the new materials that's gone around for the past few years I'm back to the good old mohairs! Great work JW!

JW,

Like Bob, I flat missed this thread. They look nice! Bruce was mentioning some cinch DVDs the other day. Glad I saw this one pop up. Good work as always.

Regards,

Ben

Thanks for the generous comments on the cinchas all.............I am self taught on tying / weaving cinchas and I would be happy to help any one. For me though, I have not figured out a good way of teaching / demonstrating without being "hands on" or video. I have had several folks ask me about the DVDs mentioned in the this thread......................I have not seen them, but I understand from folks that have that they are good.

I used to build a BUNCH of cinchas.........nowdays, I mainly will do some extra fancy ones when I get a notion. JW

I have watched the videos and have had hands on help. This is not as easy as it might seem. Teaching yourself deserves great respect!!!!!

Really beautiful cinchas !!!! How long must the strand be to make a cinch ?

Oldtimer.......Thank You for the generous comment. The length of cord and strands depends upon a lot of things.............different colors, pattern, and length of cinch...........there are quite a few various lengths of material in a cinch such as those shown. JW

JW, those are gorgeous. Your color choices are very nice, subtle but eye-catching. I love seeing handwoven cinches, there's something magical about them that's missing from commercial cinches.

Thank You. JW
