fantastic temari spheres

I'm absolutely amazed by these stunning hand embroidered temari spheres, created by a 92 year old Japanese grandmother. The art of temari initiated in China and moved to Japan in 7th Century, using silk scraps from old kimonos, and stitching them into the balls.
Oh, I imagine Christmas decorations using these beautiful spheres, it would truly make my Christmas!
