Very impressive work - you don't see that level of craftsmanship very often - nicely done.

Finger weaving in itself is just braiding on steroids.  Used by numerous native regions and has been used for making everything from garters to giant bags... and everything in between.  I started about 15 yrs ago when i was young and could not afford to buy it. So i taught myself, and have been doing it ever since. Thanks for the compliments.

Geometry, pattern, and execution makes your work a good example of your talent and artistic skills. Nice work!
