What a pretty Kukruzpuppe, Cornelia - what have you named her? Here in England we also used to make dolls out of poppies (the red
petals made wonderful skirts, the black stamen made a splendid collar, and we made the facial features with our thumb nail)... and
the old-fashioned wooden clothes pegs were also great for making dolls. But nothing is as splendid as
a Kukruzpuppe (or 'corn dolly' as we call them here)... Thank you for publicising your article and picture!

Diana.

brought this "skill" with them and if they have passed it down to you.
