    Description

    What is TEMARI?
    "Temari" literally means hand ball.  Temari is the art of embriodering the surface of a ball.  This art form dates back to the 14th century where the balls were originally constructed of sweet-smelling herbs held together by a few threads.  The thread count increased and the few threads became an ornate embroidered ball that was tossed back and forth to entertain the ladies of the court.  Female servants of the Samurai class ladies would compete to see which of then could embroider the most beautiful design on hand balls using silk threads.  The finished TEMARI balls were also popular as a girl's toy.  They were used in games in which children sang songs, matching movements of the ball to the music.  Mothers made them for their daughters and passed the craft on from one generation to the next.
    The directions in this book will allow you to make your own one of a kind gorgeous and unique TEMARI balls!  They do not just have to be for Christmas, but can you imagine a tree covered with these exquisite ornaments.........
