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!

last look

 at my Christmas decorated home.    I'm putting things away today and finding things i don't need anymore and curiously i cannot remember how i had some things completely decorated.    I collect vintage antique shell boxes  and seem to have too many. i mean i'll get more but they have to have a certain look, some of mine are just not old enough i guess.    in any event i spent hours redoing the tv room and i'm still not happy with it.     here are a few pics of what was left of my Christmas decorations that i took pics of.

























remember this is the reason for it all

a simple little snowman

 just added Merry Christmas  snowman  to my etsy shop.     


sweet faced little one that was a break from some halloween piece ive been working on.   I actually made a devil but threw it away as it freaked me out! giggle  yikes so i'm reworking this large figure i'm working on, its kinda on the shelf for a bit maybe even for next year.     so on to more sweeter things for a bit tho the halloween piece is a howl!    

hope everyone is doing their best to have the best days possible even when it seems like an impossible task.  to the lost injured and weak may your faith guide and comfort you and those around you.

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. "
