i have been making a LOT of corn husk dolls lately! i take my general instruction from those found in *a child's seasonal treasury*. love that book! this gal lives on our seasonal table.
in the midst of my corn husk madness, i uncovered this gem at goodwill! imagine discarding such a beauty!! lucky, lucky me. she will be well loved here!she is standing next to a crocheted pumpkin made by my seasons round partner's 12 year old daughter, hannah.
look at that bonnet! i am obviously not that advanced with this craft yet! ;)
we had to make some in class of course! we followed emily and mia's directions here. here they are adorning our shelf above the children's napkin rack. 
and a close up of a few of them. you can also see the lovely autumn plate made by joy's sis, cecily. she made us one for each season. this one is my fave i think.i also made one using this tutorial. no pics of it though. it was fun trying out a different style. i love how BIG it turned out!
okay, i did it! another post. now i will try with a little more regularity!
Your handwork is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo much lovely inspiration here!

ReplyDeleteoh yeah, i forgot to answer you... we want to try some basket making with the cattail leaves, but another project we had in mind was dolls similar to the corn husk ones.
