This is one of the most hard to define subjects their is  on what really determines ....True Folk Art.........Original -hand made item from scratch,without  a pattern-guide,cutouts-any outside help..............It could be anything you see,made of anything,most often by someone who has lots of spare time on their hands.Often times its by someone who lives out in country-wilderness,influncened by surroundsings..............carved from wood,more than anything else.
