Braids

Hey, if you want a visual effect of braids, you could try something like:

Xxxxx xxx xxx     xxxxx     xxxxx xxx xxxxx

xxxx xxxx     xxxxx xxxxx     xxxx xxxxxx

xxxxx     xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx     xxxxxx

xxxx xxxx     xxxxx xxxxx     xxxx xxxxxx

Xxxxx xxx xxx     xxxxx     xxxxx xxx xxxxx

xxxx xxxx     xxxxx xxxxx     xxxx xxxxxx

xxxxx     xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx     xxxxxx

 

Where you do three words, a few spaces (5-10), a word, then same number of spaces, then 3 words, and next line 2, 2, 2 -- next line 1, 3, 1, and so forth. It'd offer a visual simulation of a braid and still be a very loose form to work with. (you might also center it when you're done, that'd probably help the effect alone)
