    You're instructions were clear and easy to follow. I made a necklace with teal and silver seed beads and instead of flat large accent beads I used 2 large silver round filigree beads and 2 large round teal beads and a large silver pendant in the middle. I love it! Thank you! This was a fun project.

    I just started doing Kumihimo, and have finished a few simple bracelets, and I must thank you for your instructional videos. Very clear and easy to understand. Now this one gives me the courage to eventually try with focal beads! Well done!

    I'd like to thank you for the lesson in "doing the Math". I made my own kumihimo disc and have been practicing with cord only, thus far and have been craving to create something using beads but was unsure how (I already make all sorts of jewelry but have yet to attempt using this technique) so needless to say I'm so excited to to get started! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so clearly and in such a kind manner, greatly appreciated!

    I've been doing beaded kumihimo for a few years but always got stuck on how to incorporate larger focals in my pieces. Even went to a class recently [& did learn some things] but the instructor was totally hung up on getting the cords back in the slots they started in (e.g. cord A absolutely had to go back into slot A). My brain did a "What!?'. It took me maybe 30 seconds when I sat down at home to see that it made absolutely no difference which cord went into which slot (just like you said) because you're loading the beads & starting new. Mystery solved! Thank you.

    Thank you for the math! I just string on 40-50 beads for a bracelet and keep measuring until I think it's good. SOOOOOO much easier to have actual numbers!! Also, I thought the warps had to go back on the wheel in the same order I took them off when adding the focal bead. So nice to know they do not! Much easier too. LOL Thank you!

After each focal bead, you just set up your disc as you did in the beginning and it all comes together. Give it a try.

    Sadly, it's been at least a decade or more since illness has stolen my joy of jewelry making, (mostly worked metalsmithing, wire-work with Gold & S.S with precious & semi-prescoius gemstones,) BUT... Only VERY recently "discovered" Kumihimo and have been 'DYING' to give it a try ever since. (Thought: "Now, I can do *that* from in bed, right?") SO Sick & Tired of TV - it all repeats after 10 years - trust me! I have new hope that resurecting my artistic endevors will help to heal me - Body AND Soul. So, no matter what I am determined. I also have one of THE weightiest of reasons... We family of 4 - all stricken with the insidious, emergent and controversial Lyme Disease and other Tick-Borne-Illnesses are drowning in debt from medical bills & 'uncovered' treatments. Too proud to ask for anything, (without giving back something,) I have decided to attempt to help fund 'us' with my art. And only just now - today-tonight - did I discover YOUR videos-tutorials and just HAD to say... I LOVE your casual demeanor and your humorous self-deprecating remarks. Oh, and of course, how so VERY informative they are! I am officially addicted! As well as grateful. THANK YOU !!! ~ Sam
