 Frowning Francis Folk Artby Susan Barmore

I started making dolls because I was afraid there were awful germs in the swimming pool.

I went to the park with my brother to go swimming in the pool. When we got there a friend of mine told me not to get in the pool because she heard there was a horrible disease in the water from people peeing in it.

I warned my brother not to get in, but he plunged carelessly in and as it turned out, did not get any horrible diseases. But my friend and I decided that day to go participate in the craft session at the pavilion and not take our chances with whatever might be lurking in the deceivingly inviting pool with the fountain in the center.

That day we made sock dolls.

 After that, there was a reason why so many socks in our household did not have a mate.I am inspired by socks of all types and colors.I love strange things and beads made from bone and wood.

I love the color of the wildflowers that grown in the cracks along the expressway.

I am inspired by all of the awesome and talented people on PFATT Marketplace and all of the art presented there each month.
