Blue and white Kumihimo beaded bracelet

7"  ( 17.75 cm ) Beaded Kumihimo bracelet. The beads used are all Japanese seed beads. I added a 1" extender chain and a lobster claw clasp. 

Kumihimo is a form of Japanese braiding using various types of stringing material, often combined with beads to make exceptional jewelry. The term Kumihimo in Japanese means the gathering of threads. This technique involves using different types of looms to achieve different types of braids.

Special thank you to Christina at CSL design, her tutorials introduced me to this technique.
