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!

Lazy Days

 but not for me, been doing alot of gardening. Weeding and seeding.  We lost so much of our plants and foliage from the cold front that came by soooo we are doing a Japanese styled garden on one end of the yard and the other an English garden.  I'll take pics when all is done. 


on the other hand finally finished a piece and its called Lazy Days,  a little imp with her chickens and a basket of garden flowers.     such a lucky little one.    will be adding to Etsy in a minute.

Hope your 23 has started off well

 and hope it gets better as the year progresses.     I found a little celluloid doll in an antique shop this past fall and her face was astonishing to me so i purchased her and jujjed her up in my way and gave her a little friend who i also jujjed up and assembled painted and finished.    this piece is called Easter Preps and shows little bunnies painting Easter eggs.     will be listing on my Etsy shop today



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. "
