Cornhusk dolls are one of America's oldest traditional crafts. Native American mothers made them for their children and the craft was passed on to the early settlers; it has survived in Appalachia and the Ozarks and cornhusk dolls are still an integral part of authentic American crafts. Nan Anderson has been one who has kept the craft alive and made an artform of her cornhusk creations, but has respected the native American tradition that allows that no more features than eyes be on the faces of the dolls lest bad fortune befall the maker. Nan's dolls have been featured on GOOD MORNING AMERICA and in COUNTRY FOLKART. They grace the homes of several U.S. presidents and are coveted by craft and art collectors the world over.
