Physical descrip: 1 slide: col. General Note: Mary B. Billie has been a dollmaker since she was 17. She learned the skill by watching her mother, who 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. Its 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.'"
