two french braids above the ear; one on each side... and a herring bone down the middle back.
I had to explain that the boy elves AND the girl elves wore their hair this way. :)
oh, the cuteness of tiny little braids! (like Anna, of course). I'm renting this lens from Lens Pro to Go. amazing customer service!
Well, it's a real braid, but it's an imitation of a braid I saw in a picture of another braider's work.
I made this braided mat using an assortment of black and oxford gray jeans and pants that we were not wearing anymore (didn't fit, too old, torn somewhere, etc.)
I cut them into strips, atached the strips to one another with hand stitching and braided them. Handstitched in circular shape.
Red stitching details here and there to add a little bit of color.
They look so good!! Now a few more things in the planters and it's done (only maintenance) You can see we've also been looking at idea for the wedding and this will be the sweetheart table :D
Wrangell - St. Elias National Park, Alaska
Geologic Guide to Wrangell–Saint Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska by Gary R. Winkler

The rugged mountain ridges surrounding Kennicott
and Root Glaciers and the canyons of the Chitistone and
Nizina Rivers expose in nearly continuous outcrops the most
characteristic rocks of Wrangellia (fig. 17). The distinctive
maroon-weathering slopes of the Nikolai Greenstone contrast
conspicuously with the light-gray-weathering cliffs and ledges
of the overlying Chitistone and Nizina Limestones. The color
contrast can be seen easily from a distance, and by the late
1800’s, the contact zone had gained the attention of prospec
tors and geologists, who discovered that copper lodes were
concentrated in its proximity. By 1900, the fabulous Bonanza
lode east of Kennicott Glacier had been located. By 1905,
probably every linear foot of the contact zone in the southern
Wrangell Mountains had been scrutinized, where it was acces
sible, and all major known copper deposits of the region had
been staked.
The Nikolai Greenstone (fig. 14) consists of Triassic
basalt flows whose aggregate thickness is nearly 10,000 ft.
The greenstone formed a vast volcanic field; today’s rem
nants cover large tracts on both north and south flanks of
the Wrangell Mountains and the south flank of the eastern
Alaska Range, as well as adjacent parts of Canada at least as
far as the Kluane Lake region. Correlative basalts are known
as far west as the Alaska Peninsula and at least as far east as
the Chilkat Peninsula near Haines, Alaska. Large areas of
Triassic basalt on the Queen Charlotte and Vancouver Islands
in British Columbia, known as the Karmutsen Formation,
probably are offset continuations of the same volcanic field,
although displaced by post-Triassic movement along the
Denali, Queen Charlotte, or other major transcurrent fault
systems. The Nikolai Greenstone was extruded during a 7–8
million year interval onto a mostly subaerial volcanic plateau;
near the perimeters of its outcrops, however, submarine flows
have been identified. Volumetric estimates for the Nikolai
Greenstone exceed a staggering 60,000 mi3, enough to bury
the entire State of Oregon with a quarter mile of basalt! The
Nikolai Greenstone is overlain by as much as 3,600 ft of
Upper Triassic limestone and dolomite in the area between
the Kennicott Glacier and the Chitistone River canyon, but
the carbonate rocks thin rapidly westward, eastward, and
northward. The lower part of the Chitistone Limestone in the
McCarthy area contains stromatolites, relicts of evaporites,
and algal-mat chips, which collectively indicate deposition
in a tidal-flat sabkha environment. Sabkhas are widespread
in the Middle East today. The upper part of the Chitistone
Limestone, and the overlying Nizina Limestone, were depos
ited in progressively deepening seawater, culminating, by
latest Triassic time, in deposition of spiculite, muddy lime-
stone, and shale of the McCarthy Formation. The McCarthy
Formation makes up the thin-bedded, dull-brown-weathering,
slope-forming units above the cliff- and ledge-forming Triassic
limestones throughout the region. Between Kennicott and
Nizina Glaciers, an overlying Jurassic sedimentary succession
more than 5,200 ft thick forms the higher ridges and consists
primarily of marine sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Locally, the succession includes spiculite and minor coquina;
some beds contain abundant ammonites and mollusks that
substantiate ages ranging from Early to Late Jurassic. Thin
lava flows and beds of volcanic ash in the Middle and Upper
Jurassic parts of the succession, as well as abundant primary
volcanic detritus in the clastic rocks, indicate arc magmatism
from about 170 to 150 m.y. ago in Wrangellia (the so-called
Chitina arc). Lenses of conglomerate and disconformities
within the upper part of the succession indicate episodic uplift
and subsidence—tectonism that probably is an early manifes
tation of the docking of Wrangellia.
Within the Wrangell–Saint Elias region, this complete
Jurassic sequence occurs only in the McCarthy area; its pres
ence indicates the deepest parts of a depositional basin whose
hydraulic regime may have influenced the genesis of Ken
necott-type copper deposits.
In a few widely scattered localities, remnants of fossilif
erous marine siltstone, shale, and limestone of Middle Triassic
age, as much as 300 ft thick, intervene between the Nikolai
Greenstone and underlying rocks. These strata contain the
distinctive age-diagnostic pelecypod, Daonella, and provide
biostratigraphic timing of the onset of basaltic volcanism rep
resented by the overlying Nikolai Greenstone.

When we are camping, braiding is almost a tribal tradition among the girls, that and it keeps their hair clean

The river braids as it moves through the thick volcanic material, although the different braids join up on the other side of the volcano.

picked up stitches to conitnue the cap of this hat in an arty lace 2 ply from the same batt. Colours coordinate.
this is a broad braid, called 'open face' I believe. It's simple 'over 1, under 1'
I'd like to experiment with different numbers such as 'over 2, under 3'. A next time.
I've been playing Braid, the diabolical puzzle platform game from 2008. At first I thought the puzzles were 'simplistic', once you got the hang of the game's "time travel" mechanic, but as I've progressed, the puzzles have also progressed in difficulty. I have spent hours wrestling with the puzzles, and what's odd is that I forget how I solved them the moment I start the next one. All that said, this is one of my favorite games so far. I can't wait to finish.

A braided river is one of a number of channel types and has a channel that consists of a network of small channels separated by small and often temporary islands called braid bars or, in British usage, aits or eyots. Braided streams occur in rivers with high slope and/or large sediment load. Braided channels are also typical of environments that dramatically decrease channel depth, and consequently channel velocity, such as river deltas, alluvial fans and peneplains.
Braided rivers, as distinct from meandering rivers, occur when a threshold level of sediment load or slope is reached. Geologically speaking, an increase in sediment load will over time increase the slope of the river, so these two conditions can be considered synonymous; and, consequently, a variation of slope can model a variation in sediment load. A threshold slope was experimentally determined to be 0.016 (ft/ft) for a 0.15 cu ft/s (0.0042 m3/s) stream with poorly sorted coarse sand. Any slope over this threshold created a braided stream, while any slope under the threshold created a meandering stream or— for very low slopes—a straight channel. So the main controlling factor on river development is the amount of sediment that the river carries; once a given system crosses a threshold value for sediment load, it will convert from a meandering system to a braided system. Also important to channel development is the proportion of suspended load sediment to bed load. An increase in suspended sediment allowed for the deposition of fine erosion-resistant material on the inside of a curve, which accentuated the curve and in some instances caused a river to shift from a braided to a meandering profile The channels and braid bars are usually highly mobile, with the river layout often changing significantly during flood
events.Channels move sideways via differential velocity: On the outside of a curve, deeper, swift water picks up sediment (usually gravel or larger stones), which is re-deposited in slow-moving water on the inside of a bend.
The braided channels may flow within an area defined by relatively stable banks or may occupy an entire valley floor. The Rakaia River in Canterbury, New Zealand has cut a channel 100 metres wide into the surrounding plains; this river transports sediment to a lagoon located on the river-coast interface.

This is another technique that I learned in Peru. This braid is made from wool spun for Navajo weaving.
There are two braids, one for each side and the sweep down into a braided bun. I have been having fun braiding my hair the last few weeks. After hacking it off last winter, it's finally long enough to get back into it. Although, the end that's rolled up into the bun is kind of small. My hair use to be a lot thicker, before I had Brice.
