STudio Buttons - Fabric Japanese Temari Ball Buttons

collageJapanese Temari Balls are a centuries old Japanese recyclying craft. They can be made in a wide variety of sizes. This page shows my button size - mainly under 1", may be slightly bigger, but all are medium NBS buttons. See some of my full size Temari Balls.

These little fabric buttons are hand made string wrapped balls with embroidery on top. I have put a rattle in each one so they are interactive. They all have woven thread shanks and my embroidered stylized KC signature on the bottom (see photo). All buttons are numbered 3358 with a dash for where in the series they are.

This is an open series - I will take commissions for design and colors. I am always trying to add new designs so come back to see what else I have. Usually my sold buttons are in a separate archive page but I have put the sold ones here so you can see various designs and color combinations.

A note about the embroidery - there are multiple ways to lay down the thread with the same stitch and each has it's own look. They are regular, layered and woven. To see the difference, look at buttons #5 and #10 vs. #17. These are the same stitch except #5 and #10 are woven where as #17 is layered. I haven't done the regular one but when I do I'll update this description. Why am I telling you this? Because that information is on the card I give you with a button and is relevant to speaking to me about designs.
