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.
It’s never too early to add to your Halloween Collection! Margie is my newest little witch. She’s 12″ tall & decked out in a beautiful palette of white, black & grey. This feisty redhead exhibits sweetness & vintage appeal. She’s a paperclay creation & is now available. Just visit my For Sale page to purchase this OOAK cutie!
This delightful little girl is Milla! 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. Milla has been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display. She has button jointed arms, perfect for juggling those Jack O’ Lanterns! Milla has been made in the style of a stump doll & has no legs. She’s 11.5″ wide at the widest portion.
Milla’s face has been been carefully painted with a variety of media. She has such festive coloring! Her nose & lips have been needle-sculpted by hand, giving her a great little pout. Her hands are needle-sculpted as well.
Milla’s jumper is 100% cotton. It is loosely gathered at the bottom with embroidery thread stitches.The neckline, back & sleeves have been hand-stitched. Her jumper is festooned with handmade tissue paper pompoms which have been sewn in place with buttons & embroidery thread.
Milla’s Jack O’Lanterns are hand-sculpted paperclay creations. They’ve been hand-painted with a variety of media & sealed. They are attached to the rusty wire with a dab of glue & the ends are wrapped around Milla’s arms.
Milla is available on eBay. She will end Sunday, Sept. 12 at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid on this funny little gal!
This little sweetie is Bella. Bella is my original design is guaranteed one of a kind art & is my first Halloween creation for 2008! Bella is 27″ tall from the top of her hat to the bottom of her shoes. She’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Her lower torso has been rag-stuffed & bean filled, weighting her little bottom. Bella has been hand-painted & sanded, top to bottom many times & has a rich, deeply-aged patina. Bella’s arms are lightly wired allowing her to be slightly posed.
Bella’s face has been needle-sculpted by hand and hand-painted. Her bottom lip ‘pouts’ while her top lip is simply painted. She has been painted with various mediums & has been sealed top to bottom with a combination of sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display.
Bella’s fingers have been needle-sculpted by hand. She grey painted gloves. She also sports painted black boots with grey socks. Her high boots are highly detailed right down to the pretty blue laces!
Bella’s apron dress is made from 100% black & white cotton prints. (I am in love with this fabric combo on her dress!) Bella’s blouse is made of white muslin & features hand-gathered sleeves. Her collar has been hand-stitched with black embroidery thread. Both the dress & blouse feature tons of hand-stitching! All visible hems have been hand-stitched (dress, sleeves, collar), as well as the back of the blouse. All clothing has been dyed in a coffee/lavender bud bath for a slightly aged appearance. It was then hand-washed & pressed with linen water.
Bella holds in her lap a white crescent moon made from muslin. It has been hand-painted & sanded many times & is 5 inches tall top to bottom.
Bella’s hair is strawberry blonde 100% mohair. I have lightly glued, then carefully needle-felted it to her head. It is parted & styled into wild side pigtails.
Bella’s hat which has been hand-made from muslin & painted, sanded & stained, is securely pinned to Bella’s head with a pearl tipped corsage pin. It can be removed for year round display.
Bella will be available on eBay July 6th at 9PM EST. She will end Sunday night, July 13th at 9 PM EST.
