Arkansas was a tough dig image-wise. The shiniest gem I found was a folksy collection of alphabetical MP3s recordings. Subjects reflecting on life in the Ozarks ranging from Anglo Saxon Seed Bed to Zinc. I liked the Superstitions broadcast. According to the Ozark omens I should expect an unwanted visitor tonight as I happened to drop my towel this morning. Yikes.

1. Quilt titled Blue Medallion, by Rosie Lee Tompkins.
2. Quilt titled Three Sixes, by Rosie Lee Tompkins.
3. Examples of Dryden Pottery in Hot Springs (Garland County); circa 1960.
4. Kathryne Bess Hail Travis at the easel; circa 1930.
5. Violet Brumley Hensley, with Mr. Green Jeans, on The Captain Kangaroo Show; circa 1970s
