I was dreaming of this temari while I did the previous wrapped one. Could not get it out of my head. So, even though I have others I should be doing, here’s a rainbow temari.
Black mari with rainbow wraps in the Obi pattern.
Guidelines done in metallic silver.
This temari has nothing in the centre of it.

I had to look up what Temari are. How did you get in to this art form? How long does it take to complete something like you have photographed? I love the choice of black 'background' (base?) and the rainbow band is really well done. I mean, for the first one I've ever seen :) Cool!

My husband loves handmade gifts above all else. I had seen an article about a Japanese grandmother who made a temari a day and I LOVED them. A little Google-ing gave me the title of a book that was supposed to be 'the best for absolute beginners' so I ordered it intending to make his Christmas gift a temari. I started with the first pattern and then made everything in the book. Now I have a whole library of pattern books!
It depends entirely on the pattern how much time is involved. This wrapped one took about 3 hours from start to finish. Most of the ones I do are between 4-5 hours. I sell them on Instagram (newman_needleworks) because there's only so much room for temari in our house. I also sell at local craft shows around Christmas time.
There's a few other pictures in this book of ones I've completed. I decided it's easier to post them in their own book.
Thanks for the note! I love sharing temari with other people. :)

That’s a pretty cool look.

Wow, this one is so pretty! I love the way the colours pop on the black base.
And I'm trying to imagine how you got to this from the picture with all the pins in. :)
