A thousand year old craft from Japan, Temari is traditionally given
as a gift. From humble beginnings as simple toy balls for children's play, Temari create a
magnetic effect on viewers today. As a spectacular decorating focal point, the puzzle of
the design is mesmerizing. The concept is elegantly simple, the end result is simply elegant!
Temari opens up a whole new range of territory for stitchers to
explore. Stitches can go in any direction because of the random wrapped thread surface of
the ball. They are not limited to up and down, side to side and diagonally as with
traditional stitchery. If you can fold a paper strip into halves, fourths and eighths, you
can make Temari! |
