Division/Marking

C10

Directions

  1. Wrap a mari mark a C10 with dk pink.
  2. Use the multiple of three method to add lines to create a 32 facet marking. Use med pink thread. See 1st picture above.
  3. Apply the multiple of three method again to create a 92 facet marking. Use dk pink in the pentagons and lt pink in the hexagons. See 2nd picture above.
  4. Apply the multiple of three method again to create a 272 facet marking. Use dk pink in the pentagons and white in the hexagons. See third picture above. Note: at this point I ran out of space on the pentagons and only stitched one of them with the pink. I left the other ones empty.

Notes

This is my first attempt at a colored multi-facet (or multipole) marking as shown in the Japanese book Edo Temari (ISBN 4-8377-0394-1). It is also my first attempt at using the multiple of three marking method described in the same book. The method is described in the multi-facet math study. There is also a more detailed instruction page. I love the marking method. I found it to be the easiest multi-facet I have ever marked. There are no directions about how to use the colors so it is pretty much a total experiment on that account and I don't feel like it was particularly successful except that I did learn alot about how to do these and I think I have a handle on how to duplicate at least one of the effects that Sensei Ozaki achieved.
