Amazing Film of Kentucky Folk Art Carver L. E. Ashbrook
L. E. Ashbrook of Lexington Kentucky was a folk art carver in the whittling tradition, but he took it to the extreme. Mr. Ashbrook created a fantastic film of his figures and machines at work! This is one of the finest documents of an artist at work...and play! A large group of his carvings are currently listed on ebay for sale. Most of his work was created in the 1930s or so, the film was digitized in 2009. WATCH on Youtube HERE. Extraordinary!

Early Gullah Sweetgrass Basket Low Country African-American Folk Art Material Culture
One of the most culturally rich areas of the country is the low coastal area of South Carolina, where descendants of slaves still retain a bit of their roots and skills. One tradition surviving is the sweetgrass baskets still being made by African-American craftpersons who sell their wares along the roads (and increasingly in Charleston shops and boutiques.) It is unusual to find an early sweetgrass basket these days, as collectors prize old examples to contrast with their newer pieces. Note the wear and patina of the lid, the base and the inside of the basket. This piece could date to the 1930's or earlier. When found, the basket was filled with spools of thread, so it was used as a sewing basket.
