 This entry in the series starts in Tucson, Arizona, where the North family uses things found in the desert (cacti, sagebrush, vegetation, sand, and natural colorings) to make dioramas of desert scenes. Near Modesto, California,  Pierce Miller  (qv) collects horse-drawn vehicles of America s Old West. He has over 100 examples, including stagecoaches, racing sulkies, mail coaches, fire engines, and hearses (no kidding).  Norman Maness  (qv), who lives in Hollywood, California, uses ivory as a medium to carve high-relief portraits. Some are of famous people, others are of local subjects who sit for the artist. In Comfort, Texas, we visit an armadillo farm. The animals  shells are used to make all kinds of useful items, such as plant baskets, hats, lampshades, and ladies  purses.
