Horsehair Wookie Braids by Julie: Signup & Interest

Please keep me in mind if another run is made, I would love to get some ROTJ braids. I do have a seperate question. Could you make a few turk knots seperatly? I am also interested in some of those as well.

I sent you a PM and an email, but I guess you didnt get it in time.

As for the turk head knots, this would be my only concern selling them separately, they would need to be "tightened" around the braids. I've been making them for almost 10 years now and I can tell you it's not a "novice" knot. Personally, I use pointed forceps to help me tighten them down. It takes me about half an hour to 45 minutes to tighten one of them down around the braids. That's after I have already tightened them as much as possible before I put them on the braids. It's slow and time consuming. If you go too fast and tighten too much at one time it will mess up the knot and make it look very messy.

If you want to give it a try I'll sell you the 2 - 4 turn & 1 - 2 turn knots for $5.00 + $5.00 shipping.

A few people emailed me about the same time as I posted the previous waiting list, so I added them to the current one. That's it though. I will not be adding anyone else to this wait list.

Woo... In under the wire at number 20... lol... Thanks, Julie... :)



EDIT-

BTW, I'd like whichever set is best for ROTJ. That'd be looped as well, right? Sorry, I'm not up to snuff on the braids. Not sure which is screen accurate.
 
Excellent! :)
I am only mildly confused though so please forgive me. Is this a list for after C4 / incase someone drops out before C4?
Please incase you start the run send me a pm so I can get you the money asap!

This is the list for the next run after C4. If for any reason someone drops out of the current list I will move the 1st person on the wait list up to the current one, but I won't be adding any more than the current total of 8 people/sets.

More new pics in th gallery

Dragon Fett's Set: Pics 112-118

On his set I'm trying to post more pics of how I am putting a bunch of the braids together.
 
Have you figured out how the reddish-brown tail attaches? There seems to be no reddish-brown braid, but in the pics one of the tails hanging down is that color. Is it one of the two ends that hangs off the weird multi-braid?

From the reference pics I have, it appears to be woven into the black and white braid. Unfortunately, I cannot weave hair worth a darn, so that's why I attached the reddish brown braid as I did in the first 'extended' set of braids. I'll dig up the pics and post them this weekend.

Also, if anyone out there has some good close ups of the 'big ole mess' of braids that hang down, please post them or email them to me. I'm trying to be as accurate as possible. All the pics I've seen so far of that area have been basically from 1 side. I've been using my best guess on how they are all attached together.
 
Here's some more to add to the ones I've already posted above on this thread:

Look closely at the thin multi color black/white braid we've discussed earlier. Looking here there's a third color in it! Looks like the reddish-brown.

The last two you can really see the reddish-brown tail hanging down.



...and don't forget these super huge ones from Braks new photo link:

:D
 
Here is some ESB Ref Images. It is far less complex, with three Colors, Blond, Black, and silver/gray. The Blond and Black are about twice the width of the gray/silver strand. Also there is a red Knot on the black strand while the other two have black knots/ties on the ends.

Dragon Fett's Set is now finished unless of course he needs me to make any changes. ;)

I uploaded the pics of the last part of his set into the gallery: Pics 117-123
 
I have to say I've been watching this thread a while and these braids are so amazing. Truly each one is its own work of art. I can't wait to get a set some time after C4.

Keep up the great work Julie!
