Description

Offering a rich introduction to Japanese temari balls, this guide is a treat for embroiderers of all skill levels. Very little in the way of materials and equipment is needed for this traditional craft, and full-color diagrams are used to show the basic techniques needed to create 45 balls covered with geometric designs that glow with bright embroidery stitches, some of which are enhanced with beads and metallic threads. For crafters who are ready to go off on their own after just a few projects, the handbook offers suggestions for using temari balls to make jewelry, key rings, and other decorative items.
