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: "'She never knows where to find any.
Like you would just go into a grocery store and get what you want. It's
not like that. She has to hunt for it. If you're lucky, it takes her about
half a day to find it, or if you can't find it, sometimes it takes her all
day. Sometimes she has to go out the next morning to look for it again.'"
Forms part of series S1577, Florida Folklife Archive, Photographs and Slides
