My friend in a Florida and I were taking a vacation together, with husbands, as seen in the previous blog from this. She always manages to find some new, neat craft to try and this is it:
This craft is called Kimekomi, a Japanese craft. Here is the book.
They are fabric covered smooth foam balls which can be embellished to your hearts content or just as pictured here. These are three I have done so far. They are easy and fun to do. Keeps my mind and hands working. Make for a conversation piece in your home or a give away to make someone smile.
Doesn't natter, I just find it fun to do! Thanks Ramona.
So, watch out friends and family I am on my sixth one now. :)
Beautiful. Don't you love learning new crafty things. I know what you mean about retirement. I have been looking forward to having time to extend my skills and knowledge and am making the best of it since I retired in September.
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty and I can see the possibilities are endless. What a lot of crafts there are! People are endlessly inventive.
ReplyDeleteI envy folks that have the skill and the patience to create objects like you make on your post. Very nice! -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI found you through swap-bot which i am a newbie. but, just browsing found about me page. very impressive. then I had to say, I loved the fabric orbs. I had some fabric from a upholstery samples books. And this would be perfect to use this on a project. Like that stuff that someone gives you because you do crafts. And well, just happy I just stumbled on this great project. Thanks for Sharing
