New Work ~ Folk Art + PFATT

It's freeZZzing out today! Then again, anytime the temps dip under 65 degrees I consider it winter ;o) Yet I'm an October baby, go figure! Now, to share with you my new/ yet not-so-new project... folk art dolls and animals! Inspired by my long admiration of Amish cloth rag dolls and animals, I've wanted to create simple yet distinctive cloth dolls of my own. This seedling of an idea began in my head, oh some 3 odd years ago. That's when I made my first dolls who have been very patiently waiting for some clothes! The time just feels right, so I'm happy to present NEW folk art pieces for Autumn! Excited? I hope so!

The first offering is "Little Pig"~ now on eBay SOLD, thank you! He's made from my own original pattern, and aged to feel like a genuine old cloth toy. The faceless rag doll pictured is also one of my creations... I will be making more very soon! They make wonderful companions for your teddy bears and antique toys :) BTW, I'm a new member of PFATT and proud to be in the company of so many amazing primitive/ folk artists!

Have a fine day and bundle up!!
