Kumihimo Creations
Kumihimo is a type of braiding most of us probably did as a kid. We made friendship bracelets out of string using this type of braid when we were kids. What turns it into an artform is the selection of the types of beads and creating the pattern of each piece. The prices will range from a standard bead piece ($30) to a more intricate piece with one of a kind beads ($180).

How to purchase my Bling! pieces
Each piece of jewelry should be just right for you. That is why we will communicate prior to purchase. Contact me on the Contact page and let me know what piece interests you. Then we will check the size of the piece and confirm the materials. Or perhaps you like a piece but want a different color. I will custom make a similar piece for you if it is possible to obtain the requisite beads.. For the Belle Journee bracelets, I make them 7" plus the clasp. I am happy to make one for you larger or smaller; use a different clasp, and if you want a charm, we can discuss what charm suits you. Jewelry is a personal experience and I want to enhance that experience for you. My prices include shipping and taxes.
