Temari in 1000 words

I completed 4 of the large ones with the tassels last week (2 are already put away).

This week I’ve done the 3 smaller ones. They are Emperor pattern. The purple and blue one is my favourite. I actually did a stitching pattern that I haven’t seen anywhere else over the obi (band around the middle). It also has a piece of amethyst tucked inside along with a couple of small bells. The small red and green one also has bells in it. I splurged and bought myself a styrofoam sculpting tool (basically a super heated wire) so it’s been so much easier to hollow out the cores of the balls. I think I might try one more of this pattern tonight. I’d like to do a silver and gold style. Then next week is Turtle pattern. I love that one so it should be easy enough to do 4 more this week.
