Desert Spirit Temari Class

I took one of Barb Seuss wonderful temari class and this is the result. I still have the 20 sided temari to stitched, its marked and ready, hopefully i will have it up soon.

This is my pattern as I had an extra ball wrapped and I used the same thread colours. 

And this is the other side.

I have been working on this ball lately, a bit slow as everyday life is keeping me busy. I have it pictured with a ball I made in 2009 I think it shows how much more I have learned since those early days. There is even more to learn with the art of temari, so hopefully in 3 years time I will have more to show. I will be adding stars to this new one and update my progress soon.

 

I decided to take pictures of several together
