Striped Obi Temari

This Pattern is from Barb Seuss's Book Japanese Temari : a colorful Spin on an Ancient Craft ( ISBN-10: 1-9333081-2-5). I really like this one and I think I will make some more in various shades.

Temari Neo C8


From Temari Traditions by Diana Vandervoort. Changed it a little as I am still learning to space my thread stitches, I also did not add two rows of yellow around the triangles. I will try this ball again at a later date.

New Temari finished (S8)




I am working furiously on my temari and produced these two this week. I am learning all the basic stitches. This is a simple 8 division, I managed to space my stitching so that the threads dont buckle. I used metallic threads but the colour doesnt show so well on the one with the pink
its green with yellow.

There is great DVD on Temari , it accompanies the book by Diana Vandervoort
It goes through all the patterns in the book, fantastic for those that like to see the stitches in action :)
