This is a custom design I'm going for my own personal art growth.
There are 3 books/2 programs to teach how to braid and how to design pickup braids.
First book is Makiko Tada's "Comprehensive Treatise of Braids V - Taka-Dai Braids III" Which is out of print.
Second book, is Rodrick Owen's "Making Kumihimo - Japanese Interlaced Braids."
This book can be found here: www.amazon.com/Making-Kumihim...
And here www.alibris.com/search/books/...
Third book/first program is Clarie Cassan's "Kumihimo: Nimai Kôrai Gumi, A step-by-step guide to mastering pick-up braids on the Taka-dai" and the associated program you get to use when you buy the book. I like this program the best as it has a step by step playback of the pattern so you can easily braid along with it.
You can find it here: www.artisanart.biz/Store/index...
The second program is Takadraft, which is can be purchased at Braidershand. braidershand.com/cd-takadraft...
