Last night Toveli and I shared a book "Priscilla and the Hollyhocks" by Anne Broyles, about a young slave girl on a Southern plantation, her forced march along the Trail of Tears, and a chance encounter with a white man she'd previously met who ends up paying $1000 in gold to adopt her so she can get an education and be part of a family with 15 other adopted children.
From the book, Toveli learned to make a Hollyhock doll from the flower & a bud, and made one from a plant in our backyard.
Bit blurry, but these were all taken by the Artist Herself. Including the one she took of herself!
