Apple
Dolls are folk dolls originating from early
rural America when settlers made dolls from whatever was at hand.
Apple dolls are made by carving a face in an apple and drying
it. Due to the different effects drying produces, no two dolls
are alike.
Summer Alert!!
Drying apples in the summer may be difficult because of the humidity.
You may want to wait till humidity has decreased or try using
a food dehydrator. If you don't have a food dehydrator, try blowing
a fan directly on the appleheads and/ or place heads in very low
oven heat, 135 degrees or lower. If the temperature seems too
hot, try turning heat on low to heat up, then turn the oven off
before heads go in the oven. Warning! If the oven is too hot,
the apples will cook instead of drying. |
