| Japanese Temari made by Chris |
Anyway, even with a bug I have still been able to find time to play with craft. My friend Pam from gingerbreadsnowflakes put me onto this idea. Her Japanese Temari thread balls here are much better, but remember I'm sick. Pam has put a great tutorial together as well, it can be found here. Pam also directed me via a link on her blog to temari.com which is dedicated to Japanese Temari art.

The only thread ball I'm not keen on is the red one, but I think I was at my worst when I was decorating this one. No matter- they will adorn my Christmas tree this year, you can bet on it.
By the way did I tell you I'm sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Chris, Thanks for stopping at my blog- I've just read through some of your past posts- really nice crafting, your doggies who destroy the blanket(great patching by the way) and lots more. Hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the white weathered hutch and your lovely compliments.You are very creative.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon.
I love your ornaments, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! You are very versatile!
ReplyDeleteI always get a cold right before sping starts also. I can go all winter without a cold, and then right when I'm feeling confident, I get one! ha. love,andrea
I came over to say thank you so much for dropping by the party on Friday - I hope you didn't catch your cold from that - I warned you it was nippy in the virtual garden!
ReplyDeleteI am very taken with these balls - which i had not heard of before even though I speak Japanese. I now feel educated and envious because i couldn't make them even if you threatened to hit me with a plastic spoon. I see you are yet another talented lady like Katherine so I am signing up to follow you on the basis that I can learn your talent through osmosis and if I stroke the screen enough I too will be able to make fabulous things!
Very nice to 'meet you' here. I shall look forward to seeing more creative ideas.

As seems the norm these days, i am late to the party.
ReplyDeleteWow! first of all thank you so much for linking and mentioning my post!
Your Temari balls are just beautiful! I love how through your use of materials for embellishment, they reflect YOU!
I really do love how your Temari Balls turned out Chris.
