A good book for intermediate temari,
By A Customer
This review is from: Temari Traditions: More Techniques for Japanese Thread Balls (Paperback)
Well, a friend of mine had this book, and she showed it to me, and it was part of what got me interested in temari. This book is okay for a beginner, but it's probably better to start with one specifically designed for beginners... anyway, the instructions are good, even if the author does over-explain a little bit. This is a good step towards making temari patterns more complex and interesting.

This review is from: Temari Traditions: More Techniques for Japanese Thread Balls (Paperback)
This second book by this author is rather advanced, not the step-up second type instruction book I had expected.

This review is from: Temari Traditions: More Techniques for Japanese Thread Balls (Paperback)
This book has some wonderful ideas, but I find the pictures and directions difficult to follow. If you have never worked on a temari ball before, the directions can be confusing. Pictures of the finished balls in the beginning are wonderful, but I wish the color pictures were with the actual directions for each ball.
