Embroider brilliantly colored, patterned spheres using this ancient Japanese creative craft. The 22 temari designs -- plus numerous variations-in this full-color, how-to guide require only the most inexpensive and readily available materials. Learn how to form the base ball, divide it into pattern sections, and decorate it with the three main temari techniques of winding, stitching, and weaving. Add tassels and knots for finishing touches. Each design includes a difficulty rating and techniques list, making it easy to select the project that's right for you. Once you've created one of the exquisite works of art, you'll understand why temari are often placed in glass cases for permanent display.
