Not after 1980. |
| Notes : |
Mary B. Billie has been a dollmaker since she was
17. She learned the skill by watching her mother, who had learned it from
Mary's grandmother. Accompanying note: "'If you are planning on making dolls,
uh, first of all you have to find the palmetto fibers. And for that you
have to have a knife and a[n] axe and a file and maybe some water. And you
don't know where you're going to find the palmetto fibers. You got to look
for the nice ones. So you have to go 20 or 30 miles to look for that stuff.
