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.

Sampler Update and completed

April Challenge Update

This is a sampler ball, its still unfinished as it needs 3 more pentagons to fill.

April Challenge

I have been working on the April Challenge at the Temari Challange Yahoo group its a simple 12 ball that is divided into 20. These are 2 hexagons, 12 pentagons and 6 diamonds around the obi. So far I stitched a braided kiku herringbone on each of the hexagons ( north and south pole) and the same stitch is in the diamonds to look like leaves. The colours remind me of the Ukrainean Easter eggs Pysanky.

Temari "Mema is a star" and a variegated temari

Two new temari, both are gifts, the one above is from Barb Seuss 's online shop "Mema is a star" I changed the colours for Christmas shades as it will be completed as a tree ornament.

The one below I used variegated threads.
