The Sherpa artist Kaba Par Gyaltshen: a) Straightening
the newly glued brush hairs onto the pointed tip of the
handle itself, b) Tying the brush hairs to the handle:
the first knot c) Winding the thread around the hairs.
Here the first loop was made near the tip of the
shaft, and then the thread was wrapped around the hair
moving away from the brush tip towards the wooden
handle. When the thicker part of the handle was reached,
the artist tied the two ends of the thread. (The shorter
end had been held parallel to the point and wrapped
under the successive loops).
