I would never show you my first temari, because it is terrible! But since every my friend who wants to try is afraid to fail, I used to show them my firstie ;)

Here is the story.
I was reading russian community of japanese learners and one member mentioned temari and asked everybody if anyone know how to do it’s base. I wondered, what the hell is temari and why she is asking about it in study japanese community. So I’ve searched the net and discovered the whole world of making this gourgeous japanese toys and best site on temari I’ve ever seen: TemariKai.
It was a great day - 8th of May, 2006. I’ve spended half a day reading TemariKai site and then decided to try to do one. I was eager to start, never read whole detailed instructions, so my first temari came out such a freak :)
I assure you, other’s firsties are much more beautyful, mine is exception. I hope this story will give you inspiration to try!
