The Craft of Temari

Described as 'embroidering the surface of a ball', the ancient Japanese craft of temari uses basic stitching and wrapping techniques to create an array of beautiful and original designs.

This colourful book describes how to make the foundation mari on which to work the designs, basic techniques, use if colour, and equipment and materials required for temari. Instructions are given for over 20 different designs, and as each of these can be varied in any number of ways, the creative possibilities are almost endless!
