I got distracted while doing google searches for temari making instructions. I found images of koma ornaments, then I found instructions, and made one of my own.
So that's my crafting haul for the weekend; two Japanese ornaments.

Weekend Temari
I got the urge to make temari this weekend. This one is the Bellflower from Barbara Suess's Japanese Temari book. I didn't pay attention to the instructions, so I mine looks more like an orange slice than a flower.

Thanks Margaret!
DeleteThese look great! You have more patience than I do! Sewing / embroidering with needle and thread aren't my strong skills! The design on the orange one looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, sometimes I wish patience were more predictable. I really want to finish some of my tatted doilies, but every time I pick one up, I get fidgety. No tatted lace for me.
DeleteThat photo of the koma ornament brought back memories of my childhood days. I remember making them with my school friends and joining a group of them together to make mobiles. I have never seen any since then.
ReplyDeleteHi Kak Jon,
DeleteI guess these projects come and go, like fads. I searched all over the internet for a koma making tutorial. I should have just asked you :)
