April Daily – Sculpture

April Daily creates Japanese, Geisha dolls and Temari Balls. Traditional Japanese paper dolls, called Washi Ningya (human form) made up of washi paper of delicated twists and folds that capture lifelike form. The thread ball, or temari ball, is an ancient craft in Japan. Temari balls are made and presented as gifts on special occasions. A wish from the giver for a brilliant and happy life. In Japan they are usually displayed in glass boxes or cases to preserve them.
