Rebecca Ann Combs is the author of three best-selling kumihimo books, Kumihimo Basics & Beyond, Kumihimo Braiding with Beads, and Kumihimo Jewelry Simplified. Although Rebecca warns all of her readers and students that kumihimo is addictive, she delights in getting them hooked.  Best known for extremely detailed, clear instructions, she teaches beading retreats and workshops internationally.  Rebecca’s designs explore the intersection of color, math, and engineering and for the past sixteen years she has been pushing the bounds of what is possible in beaded kumihimo. When Rebecca isn’t braiding you’ll find her enjoying afternoon tea or hiking in the Arizona wilderness.
