Kumihimo Hairpipe Bone Choker
Created & Donated by Glenn Dent

Glenn Dent crafts stunning Lakota inspired jewelry and he has selected some amazing pieces to share with us here!

This choker features a slip clasp for a perfect fit with extended kumihimo braids.

Kumihimo is a traditional Japanese artform of making braids and cords. Literally meaning "gathered threads", kumihimo are made by interlacing reels of yarn, commonly silk, with the use traditional, specialized looms - either a marudai (lit., "round stand") or a takadai (also known as a kdai).

The museum hosted highly successful Kumihimo workshops during a Textile Exhibition and since then museum supporters like Glenn have really embraced this art form and shared their works to raise funds for us!
