corn dollies
« on: August 31, 2013, 05:05:56 pm »
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. Here is the post: http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=31332.0

I think its a lovely artform and one, i hope, won't die out!
