Author Janet Wolanin Alexander learned about horsehair jewelry when a friend showed her a bracelet she had purchased out West during vacation. Entranced, Janet vowed to braid one from her own horse's hair. After spending years seeking instruction and practicing her skills, she wrote this comprehensive guide to save you some of the time and frustration she went through. Janet taught science for 30 years and lives with her husband James, a biology professor, and their rescue cats and dogs in Southern Indiana. Besides braiding horsehair jewelry and writing, she loves horses, trail riding, and nature.
Anyone and everyone interested in learning the craft of horsehair braiding will benefit from this book which fills the current need for a more comprehensive and detailed tutorial. The colored photographs that accompany the written instructions will appeal to all learners, especially those who are visual learners. Donna M.
