You can find out more at www.temarikai.com Please understand I'm not knocking these felted balls, but there is a significant difference between using temari-inspired designs in different media and a traditional Temari. :>)Ginny T., JTA Kyoujyuhttp://www.temarikai.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-86648255281087177682011-11-09T22:24:55.992-06:002011-11-09T22:24:55.992-06:00love this! they look like candy (just *might* fend...love this! they look like candy (just *might* fend off any candy cravings for a little while).Donavillehttp://discoverpaper.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-47227527763661248482011-11-09T12:37:51.322-06:002011-11-09T12:37:51.322-06:00Very cute idea!
