Nostalgic Folk Art was born in 2004. I came up with Nostalgic Folk Art name for my paper mache figures because I love the older things that remind me of my childhood and of innocent times. They are figures of folks both childish and impish and I love vintage folk art so putting nostalgic with folk art was/is a perfect and fitting name for my lil figures and business. I feel so blessed and thankful to God for being able to make these little pieces and hope they make you smile.


Thank you for taking the time to visit!







And when your done visiting here, I'd love for you to check out my work on my etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/NostalgicFolkArt











The Best to you always!

closed my facebook page this am

 after thinking about this for awhile i did it. no regrets because ive always had such problems navigating fb.  could never respond to personal pages which is so frustrating as i couldnt reciprocate.  had trouble posting and the final straw was being unable to post to my 2022 photos oh and an email stating i needed to copy and reload my page or lose it on oct1   so im losing it (in more ways than this!)      


so i guess ill be posting more here and maybe back to more personal things but i thought i would give an explanation for why i closed my page out.   


will be posting some Halloween pieces this weekend one larger two piece figure and one smaller halloweenie   


think i'll post here on my blog to let yall know what is going on my etsy page before i list it.  BUT please contact me thru my etsy page not here as i wont be checking in here daily   only when i post.   


new work and pics coming this weekend

Well i actually had time to make some things!

 sometimes i get on a kick and i keep going until,   that's its ive run out of ideas and or bits of inspiration in my studio.   for example a shell box inspired the Sailor's Guardian  and or course the old wood shoe needed a lil pup in it, bottle tops like the one on the boy halloweenie.     listed these on my etsy shop

My First Written Review/Kinda like your first dollar, I treasure this dearly

"Carol Roll is a relative new-comer, creating folk art for four years, now. Her paper mache figures reflect significant talent. At first glance, her angels, people, mermaids, and animals may appear cute and dear. At closer look, they are sophisticated, with detailed, expressive faces, each unique. Roll's work is anything but mass produced. It's the real deal. "
