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!

Two Good, I Can'ts

I can't believe i got a photo of pure love, a sweet little angel with a name bigger than her little body,

Chalupa, 




and i cant believe i had a conversation/ramble with Trudy, who loves her always.

its thundering here and its going to storm,perfect
my home is full of heartache right now and so through the horrid there is this sweetness and kindness like a little light through a crack in the door.

To those who have lost a loved one, i hope you get more and more moments of sweetness.

very sad, lost and heartbroken

a dear friend of Dan and mine, died last night. quite a stunner. he was incredibly smart, generous, strong, funny, brave and a big kid.   he just turned 49 and leaves behind his much loved wife, who like him is so very smart, kind, the best friend anyone could ever have, and so much more, she now has to pull all her courage and strength within her to get her through this incredibly sad and huge loss.   wish i could fix it all for her.

stunned


what to do





so my boys know when i'm happy or blue and these pics show how they feel when i'm too sad to play ball or even talk to them.

Too Cute!

they take over the couch but who wants to disturb these angels?!

well honestly, one is more of an angel and    the other well.....     guess who the trouble maker is, you can see it in his eyes giggle. dont worry Archie no one is going to take your ball.

and how did they get the pillow to do that?

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. "
