This craft idea from Japanese KIMEKOMI craft.
The history of kimekomi (pronounced kee may ko mee) dates back to the first half of the eighteenth century. Kimekomi originated with dolls. A wood
en base was carved into and fabric was then used to decorate the doll-clothing, face, hair, etc.Kimekomi means “tuck in” in Japanese. They also may be known as “quilt balls”
I made this with a chirimen material tucked into styrene form ball. I scooped out the inside for the box.
