Description

Temari, kaleidoscopic, multicolored thread balls, were originally children's toys in ancient Japanese society. This simple craft has since developed into the exquisite art form found in Temari Adventures. Nine delightful new designs, instructions for quick and easy thread and ribbon balls for beginners, and the gorgeous tradition of fabric decorated balls create fabulous quilted effects. The patterns and techniques provide a base for infinite variations of color and design.
