Art: Corn Goddess

I took the suggestion of a friend and fellow artist who recommended I use old frames in my artwork.

Corn Goddess   Photo and art by mayah (c)2012



Corn Goddess made from recycled materials. The doll is a Guatemalan "worry doll", one of 15 little dolls I found at Goodwill; a friend of mine told me that these little dolls are made of reused fabric. The frame is from Goodwill also. The background photo and corn sheaf she is holding are reused from a calendar. The gold paper is a reused candy bar wrapper. One sheet of green construction paper. Reused corrugated cardboard and cardboard from a food box make up the foundation. Non-toxic glue.

About "worry dolls":  Worry dolls (Spanish: Muñecas quitapenas, "Dolls [that] remove worries"), or trouble dolls, are very small and colorful dolls traditionally made in Guatemala. A person (usually a child) who cannot sleep due to worrying can express their worries to a doll and place it under their pillow before going to sleep. Some medical centers use them in conjunction with treatment for disease in children. According to folklore, the doll is thought to worry in the person's place, thereby permitting the person to sleep peacefully. The person will wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the dolls during the night. Parents may remove the doll during the night, reinforcing the child's belief that the worry is gone. Some parents involve the child in making the dolls to further increase the psychological benefits of releasing worries.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worry_doll
