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

I've been so sick for over a week!

My old body cant take it like it used to i guess.     Anyway  in May my animals will be exhibited at the Main Street Gallery in Clayton Ga   its not up yet on their website https://mainstreetgallery.net/exhibitions/ but you can check in on it.    So i need 10 figures for that and so all my animals are on hold on my Etsy site until i have those 10 figures.     ok thats it  another slow day for me Hope your day is wonderful!

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. "
