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

Its May already

 time is truly is flying by   sometimes i pop my head out of my studio and half the day is gone!  i time my days before lunch and after lunch and im more and more a home body    maybe that s because i'm an older gal who just wants to look out her window and watch the birds the turtles and squirrels that visit my backyard. how glorious this entertainment is  and how it brings me closer to my creator 


last month i could only bring myself to make 2 figures   and this month i have this bunny rabbit and a kitchen witch on my desk needing embellishing   so im ahead already    


listed on my etsy site  this am







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. "
