Thanks to Rodrick Owen's marvelously straightforward explanation to the technique of braiding, this subject is now available to everyone. "Braids" looks into Peruvian and Japanese braids, and shows more than 50 different braid designs incorporating over 250 different patterns.
"Fantastic primer on braiding with Maru Dai. – This is a great book if you are interested in braiding. A nice (but not overwhelming) number of braiding structures are covered...as well as the history of the braids and how to make and use equipment.
The braids are introduced according to their similarity in complexity and structure..making this a great book to use as you broaden your braiding skills. What is interesting about the braids is that they originate from a number of places in the world...(not just Japan) and Mr. Owen has done a fabulous job of grouping them logically according to the nature of their structures. (ie. ...if you work through the book, you will find yourself building on skills from previous sections.)
It should also be noted that he has provided a wonderful starting point for anyone seriously interested in exploring braiding on their own. He gives basic instructions and but does not present formulaic creations which the braider can simply reproduce....Rather, he gives you all the tools you need to find your own way...without the pitfalls....You could not ask for more in a book."
"Great, Excellent Book! – This book has a complete introduction to complex braids. Rodrick Owen goes from easy to very complex but amazing patterns. it shows you how to start in this wonderful art with proper and alternative tools and equipments. Braiding work is explained to be completed with both either a cardboard or a Marudai. The instructions are very clear and the photographs as well which show what you will get at the end of the task. Peruvian patterns and their variation are really awesome. I love this book."
