Art of Hair Work: Hair Braiding and Jewelry of Sentiment

by Mark Campbell, Jules & Caethe Kliot (Editor)

Hair work and braiding at its height of sophistication is detailed in this republication of the 1875 edition. Much akin in technique to Kumi-Himo, these braids rely on openness and texture rather than color. Supplemented by material from Godey's Lady's Book from years 1850 - 1859. Should appeal to craft person, historian, jeweler and collector.

it takes A LOT of experimenting to get the techniques but for the most part his instructions are clear. it helps if you have practice with japanese plaiting techniques or other sorts of hand weaving.

Needs pictures

Call me silly but I can't follow the instructions. I need pictures.
He wants you to count 80 strands of hair? Oh my I need a video rather than printed material.
