The past comes alive through craft projects celebrating Minnesota's
history and people. Imagine soldiers on the Civil War battlefield
as you assemble a "housewife" sewing kit like those made by wives
and mothers. Re-create the drama of a midwestern tornado when you
build an automaton that actually spins, and celebrate the invention
of water-skiing with a boat and skier that really glide.
Step-by-step instructions carefully guide you to make your own
marionette, but it's up to you to stage the puppet show. The
playful miniature scene of a Day of the Dead nicho offers a way to
honor a loved one. A woodland hike will provide the twigs and
leaves to make a troll. A walking stick in the tradition of folk
artist Maurice Carlton inspires you to create art out of what you
can find. These projects and more generate hours of fun, not to
mention useful pieces you'll want to share with your family and
friends.
