Jen Weber shared her very in-depth knowledge about the history and beauty of temari. Temari (“te” meaning “hand,” and “mari” meaning “ball”) are handmade balls that are wrapped with thread to create a spherical “cloth,” which is then embroidered in countless ways to create all types of beautiful patterns. These balls are traditionally given as gifts for new babies, weddings, and for good luck in a New Year, but they are amazing art that can be enjoyed all year round. The dimension, patterns, and colors were amazing!
