corn shuck dolls, to see what
she could come up with in the
way of a corn shuck flower.
Mrs. Hagaman recalls “I
worked and worked with shucks
spread out on my kitchen table.
About the second day, my hus
band came by and said, “Ina,
you'll never make any money
like this.’ I replied, ‘I’m not
trying to make money, I'm try
ing to teach myself to make a
flower.' "
Eventually, she did, and the
flowers were such a hit on the
market that she could not fill
the requests for them. The next
thing she knew, she was teach
ing the skill to a class of women.
As well as teaching the art of
making the flowers, she taught
her students how to mix dyes and
apply the variety of colors to the
artificial blooms.
Financed by Caldwell Tech
nical Institute, the class gave
Mrs. Hagaman more income, as
well as the opportunity to pass
on her skill to many others whc
are using it to supplemem
their incomes.
