A charming little pair of corn husk ladies, each busy with her own task! These approximately 4.5” handmade folk art dolls are fashioned from natural corn husks with colorful fabric, yarn, and tiny handcrafted accessories adding wonderful character.
One lady stands behind a small wooden rack or frame accented with a bright patterned fabric panel and lace trim. Her companion wears a wonderfully dramatic red bonnet and carries a small woven basket filled with miniature colorful produce or flowers. Their layered husk dresses, tiny hands, bonnets, and individually crafted details give each figure her own personality.
A sweet pair for a primitive, country, cottage, farmhouse, harvest, Thanksgiving, or traditional folk art display.
