One of a Kind Primitive Doll Ella Mae


Ella Mae is a prim gal, ready to water her flowers before heading off to church. She is a great doll, made from muslin, painted black, and then finished in the primitive manner for the time worn, aged look we all love!

Ella Mae measures just about 22 inches tall, and is designed to sit with help or hang. Her dress is a cotton print with small roses, and has a dropped waistline and gathered skirt. A nice old button accents the neckline, and the hem and sleeves are trimmed in some vintage rick rack. Her pantaloons are a coordinating pink check.

This wonderful primitive doll has a needle sculpted face, with mis-matched old button eyes sewn on securely. Her hair is some sheep's wool, snuggly stitched to her prim head! Ella Mae is holding a rusty galvanized watering can. She will make a perfectly prim addition to your home, or perhaps would make the perfect gift for someone special!!

Primitive Folk Art Guardian Angel Doll


I’d like to introduce you to Libby. She is a guardian angel of children. Libby is a one of a kind doll designed by me. Libby measures 24 ½” tall from the top of her wings, 21” from the top of her head. She has a body made from onsaburg cotton fabric. I’ve painted her face, legs and arms, and needle sculpted the fingers on her hands. She has a full head of hair made from soft sheep’s wool that I needle felted in place, to form one long pony tail to the side. I’ve given her a head band style halo made from vintage style gold tinsel garland, and attached it with long pear tipped corsage pins. I’ve made Libby’s gown and pantaloons are made out of cotton fabric that is trimmed with vintage style lace, and layered with tulle, and vintage linen. Her collar is made from hand crocheted vintage lace, which is hand sewn in place and finished with a vintage inspired metal button. I’ve made Libby’s wings from quilted cotton that has been painted and stiffened. I’ve hand sewn them in place on her back and included a loop for hanging.

Original OOAK Mixed Media Painting Swept Away


This is a original 8 x 10 on gallery wrapped canvas mixed media painting created by me. I've incorporated a number of layers to create depth and a colorful background. I've added elements such as vintage hymnals, numbers and added texture looking effects to it. She is faceless because I wanted her to represent you! Sometimes in life the best moments are when we allow our hearts to be swept away. I really love how this turned out. The colors are vibrant and images almost seem to pop off the canvas. I hope you enjoy it too. The edges are painted and the entire painting has been sealed. It will come signed and dated.
