A great book about dimensional jewelry in peyote stitch is the ''Shaped Beadwork & beyond'' by Diane Fitzgerald.  The beaded ball of Diane Fitzgerald was inspired by the Temari balls, popular japanese toys, which turned into a traditional art form.      A Temari bead is composed by twenty triangles,  each triangle is usually formed by four rows (picture 1)     picture 1      picture2        Zip due to connector beads, five triangles together,  to form a pentagon (picture 3)       picture 3                                           Zip the next five triangles to the pentagon, to form a star, and obtain half temari bead (pictures 4-5)     picture 4a     picture 4b      picture 4c      picture 4d      picture 5a      picture5b           Make an identical star, add connector beads (picture 6),      picture 6     and zip the two pieces together as in pictures 7         picture 7a      picture 7b      picture 7c           picture 7d
