hand embroidered decorative thread balls - japanese temari - Jewel Diamond Temari

Description

Temari is the ancient Japanese folk art of silk embroidered thread balls, originally made by noble women with silken threads pulled from old kimonos. Used originally for child's play, today the art of temari is becoming more popular around the world.

I hand-wrap each temari ball first with yarn, then thread, then stitch the traditional Japanese designs with silky pearl cotton embroidery thread.

This temari is 3 inches in diameter, wrapped in jet black thread with interwoven three dimensional-looking bands of rich purple, deep blue and white embroidery threads. This one is beautiful with its bright diamond and star shapes. Stunning and eye-catching to display anywhere! This one would coordinate well with Illusions of Blue or Perceptions of Purple Temari.

Please note: I can attach a hanging thread if you desire one, otherwise this is a unique art piece to display on a candle holder, tucked in a basket, or with a group of other temari. (*Please note: in "group" photo, the Jewel Diamond pictured is a different one than this listing!)

Temari is shipped first class in a unique gift basket along with a brief history of temari.
