Featured Artist – Rabbit Hollow Prims

Last Updated on Tuesday, 10 November 2009 05:37 Written by Manic Butterfly Tuesday, 10 November 2009 06:00

Rabbit Hollow Prims began a long while ago… 1989 to be exact. I used to make crafts with my mother who sold at shows in Pennsylvania and Ohio and she would pay me for helping her. I stayed away from doll making for a while and now I am back to making dolls from patterns, and recently designing and selling my own dolls that are OOAK (one of a kind). My techniques, style, product and designs have changed a lot over the years, but what has remained ever constant is producing folk-art that is truly unique, original, and sometimes OOAK.

I often use a distressing technique with acrylic paints and then sanding and baking for a truly vintage and worn out look, and rich leathery patina. All dolls are made to last and wear throughout the years to come. My love of antiques & dolls has certainly been a huge influence at Rabbit Hollow Prims over the past 17 years, and I love what I do.

I am a mother of 2 boys who are 3 and 5 yrs old. I have been an artist in the Hope Mills, NC community for 5 years, where I have also been a Science teacher for groups of middle school kids, and a Science lab expert teacher in the after school community school programs for kids ages 11-14.

I’ve been into every craft and art imaginable for most of my life. I am a self-taught artist working with graphite, resin, polymer clay, acrylics, oils, and pastels, just to name a few. I am presently making OOAK (one of a kind) jewelry and I sell my creations at my Etsy store ‘Designs By Marcia’.

 I also enjoy designing needlecraft and sculpt, along with painting and drawing. My jewelry pieces are all original designs made by me, and I always use the highest quality materials so my customers can have my designs for a lifetime of enjoyment!
