Here is what I have been working on lately , Primitive heart bowl fillers and a crow and flowers "goody bag". The heart bowl fillers are definately OOAK there are 16 of them and each one has "love" written on it in a different language, the tags tell which language it is written in. The 16 languages are : Aribic, Dutch, Hindi , Bulgarian , Italian , Romanian, Chinese, French, Russian , German, Korean, Spanish, Czech , Greek, Hebrew , and Swedish. Heart Set does not come with the box . This set will be auctioned on Ebay between Dec. 30 and Jan. 7 . To start off my Valentines day sale, they will be followed shortly by the 2 cherubs and a Valentines cat that I am working on now...so keep an eye on Ebay if you're looking for Valentines prims !

OOAK Primitive Spring Bunny -" Ophelia" and Primitive flowers

Hi everyone! This is Ophelia my primitive ,grubby spring bunny. She is holding a flower in one arm and a carrot in the other. She has a tag with a short poem on it about her garden. I did not put a hanger on her because I like her so well sitting. Ophelia does not come with the flower bowl fillers around her but she does come with the one she is holding. Ophelia is about 21" tall. Ophelia- $ 16

Also pictured with Ophelia are the flower bowl fillers that I have been working on , they are incredibly cute . I have the 6 shown that are finished and am working on several more. They vary in height but most are between 7 and 10" tall. They will be sold in groups of 3 . 3 flower bowl fillers $6

OOAK Primitive Folk art ballerina doll - Adelina


For those of you who are wondering what I have been working on....here she is ! This is Adelina the ballerina . For some reason she didn't photograph well though , she is darker than the pictures show her. To me primitives are about capturing a simpler time and state of mind , taking us back to our roots so to speak, and Adelina does just that , What little girl hasn't wanted to be a ballerina at some point in her life?
Adelina is about 17" tall and has a antiqued lace tu-tu. She has a pinched nose and tiny button eyes . Her leotard and ballet slippers are painted pink and her hair is homespun wool . Adelina's tag reads " Ballet Admit one " like a ticket . She has a rusty safety pin in the back for hanging , but she looks cute sitting too. Adelina $16

I am working on a crow now and will post her as soon as I finish her. I also have a farmer and his wife in the works. Keep checking in to see what they turn out like and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

Arnold has no hair ,( I loved him like this so I kept him bald).

Valentines items are on there way !

Hi everyone , I don't have any new dolls to post today :( the Christmas shopping has kind of kept me tied up a bit for the last couple of days. I am working on a black doll right now and I should have her done sometime this week. I also have a lot of ideas for Valentines Day dolls , but I am not going to spoil the suprise.
I put the two stockings on Ebay today and marked them down cosiderably to $14 so get them while the getting's good , they'll most likely be the last Christmas items that I do this year. I will also be slowing down a bit with my Ebay listings so my dolls will be posted here for longer times before going to Ebay. As always if you see anything that you'd like to have just drop me an Email ( upthecreekprimitives@yahoo.com ) and I'll set it up on Ebay for you. I try to be as fair as possible with my customers so if you're the only one requesting the item at the time it goes up as fixed price and reserved. If more than one person is requesting it then it will be listed as an auction.
I'll try to post more items later this week. Merry Christmas !
