Temari Balls
Jun. 7th, 2008 02:49 pm
Before I tried knitting or bookbinding or screen printing, temari balls were my crafting obsession. These are over 10 years old (please excuse the dust).
If you are interested in learning temari, I highly recommend Diana Vandervoort's book Temari: How to Make Japanese Thread Balls (ISBN 0-87040-881-X). It has very clear instructions and is illustration heavy, just what you want in a craft book. Vandervoort has a few follow-up books with additional techniques/patterns.
Maternity dress

Pirates and Fairies, oh my!
Jun. 7th, 2008 08:49 pmOn Deviantart.com I've gotten involved with some swaps. I've decided to try to craft as much of the swap stuff as I can, supplementing with other local or random nice things. Anyway, it's been an excuse to craft like crazy - which is always good!
( DO NOT LOOK if you are babalisme or quinz3l from Deviantart!!! )

As always, thanks for looking!
