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.
I have two new cuties available on the PFATT Marketplace for March. Goldie & Bertie are paperclay dolls attached to wooden forms which make up their torsos. They’re hand-sculpted without the use of any molds. They’re hand-painted top to bottom & sealed for protection. They’re both 7″ OOAK dolls & will not be reproduced. Click here to purchase.
Pfatt Marketplace is updated & this is the little lady I’m offering this month. Meet Melody. She’s an OOAK cloth creation measuring 16-17″ tall from her base to her birds. Melody has been made in the style of a stump doll & has no legs. She does, however, stand up on her own. Melody has been hand-painted from top to bottom many times. She has a lovely, vintage patina. She has been sealed for slight dusting after display. Her arms are button jointed.
Melody’s nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand. Her face has been painted with a variety of media. Melody’s fingers are needle-sculpted as well.
I simply adore this lovely taupey grey floral fabric! It is 100% cotton in the most beautiful tonal shade. There is hand-stitching along the hemline for added detail. Melody’s blouse is osnaburg. There is hand-stitching along the neckline, back & sleeves. A vintage button adorns the neckline.
Melody’s fluttering birds are paperclay creations. They were hand-sculpted without the use of any molds & have been hand-painted. They are affixed securely to the rusty wire which is wrapped around Melody’s wrists. The birds & wire have been sealed. They were modeled after the Mountain Blue Bird.
Melody is now available on the PFATT Marketplace. She will be available there until March 10th! Click here to snag this little lady.
Lots of new goodies have been added to my Etsy shop. You’ll find butterflies, bunnies, flowerheads, clowns, storybook folks & more!
You may not see this little girl fluttering about your flowerbeds but I can guarantee that she will brighten up your springtime doll collection!
Meet Flutter. She’s 14.5″ tall with a wingspan of 12″. She has been made of muslin & is stuffed with fiberfill. She’s been hand-painted top to bottom a couple of times & has such a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Flutter has an embroidery thread loop attached, making her suitable for hanging or she may sit with assistance. She’d look lovely perched upon a bookcase or shelf. Her knees are sewn through.
Flutter’s sweet face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her face a great bit of dimension & a beautiful little pout. She has needle-sculpted hands as well. She sports black painted boots with white & black striped socks & detailed teal laces.
This whimsical star print is 100% cotton. (Truer in color to the last photo above.) Flutter’s blouse is made of white muslin & features tiny buttons at the neckline. The hem, sleeves, neckline & back have been stitched by hand.
Flutter’s hand-painted, muslin wings are attached to her back with a vintage, mother of pearl button. They are machine quilted.
Flutter is available now on eBay. She will end Sunday, May 16th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid on this little lady.
