Appalachian Folk Art by Kentuckian, Rebecca F. Miller Campbell. Featuring handmade One of a Kind (OOAK) signed, numbered, primitive art dolls, paintings & bits of whimsy from the hills of Eastern Kentucky.
This little lady was very fun to make. I LOVE making artwork for Halloween and autumn. You can be as silly, serious or as spooky as you want to be.
This little girl is on the sweet side. She is my offering for August’s PFATT Marketplace update. Here are some pics of sweet Jackie.
This little little lady is Pepper. She’s approximately 12″ tall from the tip of her ear to the tip of her shoes. Pepper is a muslin & fiberfill creation. She’s been hand-painted top to bottom and has been sanded & aged, giving her such a lovely, vintage patina. She is sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Pepper has an embroidery thread loop attached to her back for hanging or she can sit, only with assistance. Her knees are sewn through.
Her sweet face has been been carefully painted with a variety of media. Her ears have been attached separately. Her hands are needle-sculpted as well. Pepper’s boots are hand-painted & are extremely detailed.
Pepper’s skirt is made of a beautiful 100% cotton print & natural cream colored muslin. The hem features hand-stitching. Her blouse is made of taupe osnaburg. A vintage mother of pearl button adorns the neckline. There is hand-stitching along the back, neckline & sleeves.
Pepper is now available on Ebay. She will end Sunday, Jan. 30th. Click here to purchase.
Aren’t these guys fun? They’re paperclay dolls built on papermache cones. They can be used as free-standing dolls or they can be used as super cute tree toppers for a smallish tree. Each doll is 11.5″ tall.
It takes a super sweet girl to be Pumpkin Queen, but make no mistake…this little girl can keep all those soon-to-be-Jack-o-lanterns in line! Meet Camille. She’s a 17″ original, one of a kind muslin & fiberfill creation. She’s been hand-painted top to bottom and has been sanded & aged, giving her such a lovely, vintage patina. Camille has been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. She has button jointed arms which may be slightly posed. She has been made in the style of a stump doll & has no legs.
Camille’s face has been been carefully painted with a variety of media. Her nose & lips have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her a great little pout. Her hands are needle-sculpted as well.
I just adore this sweet Moda Halloween print. It is 100% cotton. The hemline has been hand-stitched. Camille’s blouse is made of white muslin & features a beautiful vintage rhinestone button at the neckline. The button is speckled & shows wear but is such a lovely addition to such a regal doll! Camille’s sleeves have been gathered by hand. The neckline of her blouse & back of her blouse features hand-stitching.
Camille’s super sparkly wand is a paper clay creation With a dowel insert. It has been painted & festooned with Martha Stewart glitters. I have to say, Martha Stewart glitters are so fun to use (play with!) And they’re beautiful. The amount of sparkle is unmatched! Paperclay leaves have been attached with rusty wire.
Camille’s auburn hair is 100% mohair. It has been attached with light glue for extra security & needle-felting. Camille’s sparkly crown has been constructed of cardboard, held together with eyelets, painted, glittered & sealed. It is attached to Camille’s head with corsage pins.
Camille is currently available on eBay & will end Sunday, Sept. 19 @ 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid!
