Folksy Friday

II've been trawling the charity shops and I got a brilliant book for £2.50 about Folk Art Painting.... now those who know me in the real world will be wondering if I've finally lost the plot, having been banned from CSE art due to my unique approach to painting :-) But what I can do with pictures is knit, crochet or cross stitch from them and the book is serving as a useful source of inspiration for some folk art items I'm having a go at making.
As today's listing for the October Folksfest is a Folk Art Brooch inspired by the book:

I've decided to trawl Folksy and find other FolkArt type items for my FIRST Folksy Friday. So here are today's offerings:
