Are we there yet?

Kumihimo, mixed fiber media

Most of this year's A-Z art journey has me looking at older artwork.

This is something new!

Kumihimo is a Japanese braiding technique that I learned earlier this year. 
This piece was my first experiment with the craft, read the materials details on the artwork page.

At the same time, there was a Kumihimo exhibition in Hollywood at Japan House.

I don't think I blogged about it (oops), here's a photo of a giant braiding setup:

I was standing inside!

I plan to perform more experiments with this technique at some point. 

This month, I will be blogging my way through the alphabet,

as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.

With each letter, I am going to feature something about an artwork.
