Every fall we collect some nice clean field corn cobs. Get them before the fall rain turns the husks black and brown. Marjorie carefully pulls off the clean inner husks for the body and then gathers the stiff outer husks for the dress and the brown corn tassels make for flowing hair. The cobs? Feed the birds or give them back to the farmer.
About 25 years ago, when the Royal Winter Fair encouraged creativity, Marjorie did displays.
