Inspired by a drawing in a manga (of all things) and in an attempt to keep a traditional craft alive, I made this temari ball for Christmas several years ago. Temari is a very complicated Japanese craft, requiring the wrapping of many layers of thread around a central ball, followed by an equally complicated embroidery for the design. Basic knowledge of Geometry is a must if you want to make one of these. The results are stunning, though, considering this took me about three or four days to make, but it's probably one of the simplest designs you'll see.
Total awesomeness!! I've always wanted to make one of those, but I never found the time. Where do you get the thread, and what kind do you use? I'm hoping whatever it is will be cheap...
