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!

My Sweet Little Archie






So monday we went to the vet for his final visit regarding his knee surgery,  the wonderful vet took an xray and the surgery was a success, but Archie is still holding his leg up and still wonky.  the vet manipulated his leg and Archie didnt show any pain????????  he needs to recoup for a few more weeks, he has neurological problems and his spine will cause him painful problems in his future, not right now, so he is on new food for his joints to help him, and he will need to be on pain meds for as long as his little life allows.    so he may continue to limp due to the neuro problems, we dont care as long as he is in no pain.     and boy is he loved     so we'll do the best for him always.

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. "
