Learning how ….
.. a Japanese temari ball is made!
For the LCoF challenge: "homemade"
Homemade, but not by me! A friend who is experienced in making these beautiful and intricate Japanese balls brought me a beginner's kit.
No surprise that I can admit I didn't make the finished ball here, but Laurie did while she was here!!

More about temari balls, if you're interested:
Temari balls come in different sizes and are embroidered with complex geometric or ornamental patterns. They're created with simple materials including paper, rice husks and cotton thread, but temari artisans can create a staggering range of patterns including flowers, stars, birds, flowers or even waves. (Japanese tourist board website)
The balls are a folk art form and Japanese craft, originating in China and introduced to Japan around the 7th century A.D. Temari means "hand ball" in Japanese. Balls made from embroidery may be used in handball games and other such similar games
