Temari Thread Clippings
Once crammed and tightly packed into the jar at left, this pile of threads (just under 1.5″ thick) represents the thread clippings from my THREE YEARS of Temari crafting! It is at least 95% of the balls I made. Considering I have just completed my SEVENTY-SECOND completely different design - not including variations with color changes or multiples of a select portion of them, I conservatively estimate that in the three years of sewing I have made a minimum of 160 temari!
Since it is bird-nesting season, I am going to scatter the colorful threads around to give the birds some colorful nesting material.
And then start filling the jar all over again.
