As maker of the braids, we might consider the late Debbie Case (spouse of Barry Case, decades-long Friendship denizen) who, at Friendship one year, showed this sort of work and spoke of having learned a certain such technique from someone (perhaps the elusive Arnold) after much prodding and cajoling, Art will know how Debbie (nee Hollingworth or something close), Barry, Quick Chris, Swope, and other legends all fit together. I have one of Debbie's pieces, to be resurrected someday. The cases were from nearby Vevay, IN.
