A couple weekends ago my friend Lisa and I attended the Soakum Festival at the Noble County Fairgrounds. In the morning we showed our Angora rabbits at the Blennerhassset Rabbit Club's fall show and then made our way to the fest. While there I was mesmorized by a man playing with a Limberjack or Jig Toy. He was a member of a dulcimer group that was preforming and I learned that Limberjacks are folk toys that are actual musical instruments. Later when I got home I told Andrew about the toys and gave him a photo of one that I pulled from the internet. He made this one for me out of black walnut and along with some instruction from my friend Becky, a veteran painter with 20 years of experience with all types of media, I painted her to look like a farm girl.
