I've been a bit quiet on Twitter lately, but The Twisted Thread had a great temari class yesterday involving 32 face marking and HHG stitching:

Cannot wait for the next class on 10 April- a fantastic group of stitchers and a lovely HHG design. What a treat!

More from my level 3 JTA temari work.

This design is from a Japanese book called Cosmo 5 and was described as a narcissus, but I love the way this colour scheme also looks has a hint of the Tudor about it!

[The Twisted Thread @thread_twisted]

@danakwatson Nice!

[The Twisted Thread @thread_twisted]

Delighted to say progress is being made on the level 3 JTA work by Nicola, expect some complex temari to be posted in the coming weeks!

@sueweeks Hi Sue, if you ever fancy a podcast on the art of Japanese temari, please do let me know :) Nicola

[The Twisted Thread @thread_twisted]

Inspiration station! Here is a beautiful temari stitched by Nicola at The Twisted Thread. The design comes from a Japanese temari book (ISBN 978-4-8377-0292-4) that was interpreted by a great temari maker called Janice Miller.
