        While perhaps not the widest known use of the Temari technique, using it to make decorative collector's eggs is not unknown in Japan as evidenced by a few photos in Japanese books. Temari eggs are enjoying popularity with Western authors also - Vandervort and Diamond mention and cover them somewhat in their works, and the current (No 25-2000) issue of Inspirations Magazine (for needle work) has a beautiful how-to article by Janet Donnelly, from Australia.
