Primitive Nativity / manger scene

SOLD
Well, Thanks to one of our kids, I finished the nativity set earlier than I thought, a little help with stuffing the arms really went a long way. So here they are ...
This set includes everything shown: Mary with baby Jesus, Joseph, 3 Wisemen , a sheep and a cow. They are all individual dolls ( between 11 and 17.5" tall) and can be moved around . They are also weighted to stand on their own. Each wise man has a gift with a tag ( gold, frankensence, and myrrh ) Joseph has a shepherds staff that is removable, and Mary is holding the baby Jesus (not removable). Each of the 5 dolls are signed and original OOAK creations . This set is going on Ebay in about a week. I am not going to be making anymore of these sets so you can be sure that you got the only one.

Also " Creepy Claus" is going on Ebay tomorrow evening, he is going to be started at $20 , as always locals who contact me before paying to arrange drop off / pick up times will have shipping charges removed. Thanks for taking a look!! Come back by anytime!

New Santa

I just finished this Santa today and I thought I would go ahead and post him tonight along with a Folk art Jesus and the prairie dolls . So here they are..:)

I pictured the santa and Jesus together for the sake of space but I have plenty of seperate pictures too , I can email them if you like.
Santa is about 27 " tall and is made from painted cinnamon brushed fabric. He has a rusty bell attached by a safety pin on the tip of his hat and a tiny jingle bell on each of his boots. He also has rusty bell buttons and a grubby tag that reads: " Fat & Jolly" He is a make do doll and is not weighted. Santa nor Jesus include the "vase" pictured . It is infact not even a vase, it was a gift from my husband to hold some flowers that I made this spring, it is an old tarnished vietnam era caseing from a 105mm howitzer cannon. SANTA $20

Jesus is about 29" tall and stands on his own. He is not weighted, he has dowel legs and a rough wooden base . His body and face are hand painted fabric . This Jesus leans a little more toward the folkart side than most of my work, his face is very detailed , down to even the eye lashes and blood vessels in his eyes. He is tea dyed but not nearly as much as my other items generaly are. He also has a hang tag that says " Amazing Grace"
JESUS $ 28



I actually made these prairie dolls about 2 mos ago and never put them on Ebay or tried to sell them, I was kind of fond of them so I just let them hang around a bit longer in a candle box on the top of one of my old trunks , but with Christmas fast approaching I thought that they might make a nice addition to someones tree so I have decided to go ahead and let them go. There are 6 of them. They are between 6" and 8 " tall. Their arms and legs are made from sticks and their bodys are made from fabric , one is painted and the rest are cinnamon brushed. Some have tags and some don't there are 3 indians ( one of whom we have named the medicine man ) and 3 settlers. At this point they do not have hooks for hanging but I will add hooks to them for free if you want them for your tree.
6 SETTLERS AND INDIANS ORNAMENTS : $ 15


Make sure to look at my other posts! And watch for new ones, I am going to try to add at least 2 new things a week, if not more.

Creepy Claus and the Tree

Here are my latest 2 creations "Creepy Claus" (named by my children) and the tree.

Creepy Claus is about 38" tall and has a fleece beard , twig Christmas tree (left), and star ornament (right). At the moment he is not completely finished , I ran out of rusty bells and pins and have ordered more, when finished he will have a rusty bell on the tip of his hat. I am expecting the bells to arrive some time this coming week. Creepy Claus $22,








The tree is about 30" tall and Does come with the ornaments shown It is weighted to stand on its own and is quite heavy. This one is strictly for local delivery, it weighs about 20 lb and would be easily broken in the mail , not to mention the shipping costs would be more than I am asking for the tree.
Tree and ornaments $20.

I am currently working on several sets of ornaments and a primitive manger scene as well as several other dolls so check back or subscribe. Make sure to check out my other posts to see my other work and contact me if you see anything you're interested in. I can post it on Ebay now and if I am very lucky I will have my online store finished soon. Thanks for looking!
