Jul 16th, 2009 at 9:41am
 
Hello
I am new here.
I want to learn how to braid, like you can see on the 8. and 9. picture here:
http://slinging.org/index.php?mact=Album,m5,default,1&m5albumid=11&m5returnid=53...
I mean the braiding near the poach.I have been searching for hours for introductions for this, but i didnt find anything.
Can you help me?
Greetings from Germany
Axel

Nothing here that I'm aware of.

Perhaps these books.

Braids: 250 Patterns from Japan, Peru & Beyond
By Rodrick Owen

Sling Braiding of the Andes
by Adele Cahlander

They are the most likely sources for this style of braid.

I recommend that you send a personal message to _kava_ about this. His slings are similar.

oh, he has an underscore before his name so he appears in the 'other' section. http://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?action=ml;sort=mlletter;letter=other

cool, I had no idea I was in the 'other' section.  Grin

@Axelk - dude, sent you a pm.

For everbody else: basic braids with different colours will pretty much get you on the right track - just gotta play around with it.
And the pouch is simply made the same way as friendship bracelets - I don't know how he did those particular patterns though.

hope this shines a little light on the subject.

cheers,

_K_

i have tried this technique and it has proved rather very difficult i can make friendship bracelets but putting them into sling form is very hard

i have a whole new respect for whipartist
