I thought some of you might like to see these photos of corn dollies made by my step dad. These are older ones I took into school for my class to study as part of their 'Harvest' topic; they've been in the loft a while and have been chewed by mice a bit (the dollies, not my class) but still give you a nice idea of what they are like. Unfortunately, the best pics had children in, which I can't put on here, but we'll print out for our class display.

They look great! If your interested I posted an old video clip filmed by the BBC of my Great Grandfather, Fred Mizen, making corn dollies which he was pretty famous for.
