Corn husk dolls

On Tuesday we ate lunch with friends who live in a retirement home. There was a Mardi Gras celebration there, though I'm sure it was much more calm than the real thing. As we were leaving, I noticed a glass case with a little pioneer family in it. It was so intricately done that I just had to take a picture. Each of the people in the scene...and all their clothing...is made of corn husks!
