Vivienne's corn dolly, featuring calendula hands, winter rye, and Canadian wild rye. I love this.

Rye straw for the project. Some of it is yellow and ripe, and the Canadian wild rye is still green. Both kinds have the seed heads. I tried braiding some of this straw, and let's just say I have a long way to go.

OK, so I am still in the corn dolly phase of this summer. I spent Friday afternoon and evening with my youngest granddaughter and we had so much fun with this project. We purused Pinterest a bit and watched a couple of videos. Mostly, we winged it. #lammas #lughnasa #witchsky #folk_art
