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!

I can't believe i missed the month of April!

 This past month has been so busy.   Besides the life happening ups and downs, hills and valleys,  Dan and I have opened a vintage/antique booth at Our Old Stuff Antique Mall in Holly Hill Florida.  Here's a pic of our spot moving in so its not totally complete and i'm always updating it sooo

its a small room actually and this is one side, which i got from their facebook page.      Maybe i'll start an instagram page but really i just don't have time for much lately.  

I'm only making one piece a month it seems and last month i made this halloweenie and it sold but here it is, its called the howling swaying to the music


and i updated  three snowmen and adding this one 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. "
