During my time at home I have been teaching myself the art of Japanese Temari thread balls. I was able to follow the clear directions and techniques illustrated in the book Japanese Temari: a Colorful Spin on an Ancient Craft by Barbara B Suess.
I find it very calming to wrap the balls with sewing thread and then "sew" the patterns with embroidery thread. It's also a way to use up fiber supplies I have around the house!
Just as basketweaving takes practice to master, so does this 3D embroidery. I will continue to wrap balls and learn more techniques of Japanese Temari. You may want to give it a try too.
