Kumihimo

I'm currently toying with the idea of buying this Kumihimo starter kit: http://www.beadsdirect.co.uk/beadsmith-kumihimo-starter-kit/ST121/

Kumihimo is a Japanese form of braiding and looks like it has so many possibilities. Just take a look at some of these gorgeous bracelets I found that were made using this technique:

I was considering having a go at Shamballa jewellery but it's everywhere at the moment and I want to do something really different. They look amazing, so I think I'm going to go for it and buy the kit!
