Folk Art Treasures

I recovered some full-sized images from Christmas break and was taking another look at these beauties. Unfortunately they were on display in a flourescent/basement/side room (ugh) --- that's not normally open to the public (score!). So the pictures are crappy - but I love these. They make me want to make something. I think the jug in the middle was called a memory jar. Seems doable.
