HO HO little brother. well i wish i could do them as fast as scrolling. but most of them take me about 10 hours. and yes i would teach you if you would like. I bet your wife would love to do these,. thanks for the complements. Evie

This is an edit;
I showed them to my wife and she also thought they looked wonderfull. She is a quilter.
Then on the second look at them I noticed that some are sitting on some pretty nifty looking base's/pedestals that look like lathe turnings.
Come one now . . . are you holding out on us ? ? Are you also a turner ? ?

Lovely

Evie,

Those are beautiful!

That first one, by itself, somehow makes me think of a beautiful planet.

I imagine they are made on top of Styrofoam balls?

And as Bill said, the bases are also nice, who turned them?

Your talent shines again.

Lovingly,
Marcel

Hi Evie, I agree with everyone else, those Tamari balls are beautiful. I would love to know how to make them. So give it up girl, and let us know how you do it.

Evie those a just beautiful and I just love the variety of colors you have used

[minowevie]

AAAAWWWWWWWWW now thats just what i needed today. lots of uuuusss and aaaawwws. yes they are made ontop of a foam ball. raped with yarn, then thread, then divided then stiched. it would take along time to post how they are all done, of course. but i would love to teach anyone how to do them. thanks to all of you for responding to this thread. that just goes to show you, how we all love all forms of art. and for me demention. in all formes. I have been haveing a bad time at home. and can always count on my family here to build me up. thank you. sorry to be so vain. but i just needed some love. thanks. your friend Evie

[minowevie]

Oh Ya, I forgot, yes i am dabbaling in turning. but on a small scal. all the peddalstals are done out of wood on my ranch. just some pieces of wood, I cut down for fire wood. and put on the lath, for my tamari balls. it is a fun thing. like i could do a relly nice bowl. I do go to most the tool shows in my area. and drull over the things those guys do. lots of learning here. thanks for noticeing WY. and all the others. If you love wood. you love wood. right. always your friend Evie

[Jim8Mad]

Wow Evie. Those are really neat. After looking at yours I did a little search and found so many sites about this craft. I even found a couple that are really informative on how it's done for those of you who want to give it a try. The first link is a simple how-to for beginners. The second link has a lot of other links buried inside and is probably more for the advanced persons, but there is a link for beginners that my be useful.
