Edo Temari

This is one of my favorite temari balls that I have made. It is from Edo Temari (ISBN4-8377-0394-1) which is a beautiful Japanese (no English instructions) book of mainly geometric patterns. It took a little figuring out as only one side of the temari was shown and the other side didn’t seem to mirror it.

Though it turned out well (I think so anyway) and was given as a present to my mum. I’ve added a tassel and loop so it can be hung up – this was destined to hang as part of a curtain tie back.
