Meeting the Man in the Moon 🌙

There has always been something deeply magical about the night sky. For centuries, the moon has watched over us, sparking folklore, guiding dreamers, and inspiring artists.

My latest creation, the Man in the Moon, is a whimsical nod to those classic celestial tales. As part of my growing celestial collection, this one-of-a-kind piece is full of character, vintage charm, and just a touch of mystery. With his expressive eyes, sculpted crescent face, and dapper attire, he looks like he just stepped right out of an old-world storybook to bring a little bit of cosmic magic into your home.

Meeting the Bee Witch: A Sweet Little Spell for the Garden


 There is a quiet sort of magic that happens when folklore meets the natural world. My latest creation, a one-of-a-kind (OOAK) Primitive Bee Witch, was born from that exact inspiration—the idea of a tiny, weathered guardian who whispers to the early blossoms and keeps a watchful eye over the hives.

She is in my ETSY STORE

A Little Gentleman: New Hand-Painted Paper Mâché Folk Art Doll

Hand-painted paper mâché folk art doll named 'A Little Gentleman' by Joanna Bolton, featuring a top hat and striped pants

 Fresh from the studio! I’ve just finished this new little fellow. There’s something so special about the way his striped pants and tiny top hat came together.

He is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted paper mâché sculpture, created with a love for the whimsical and the slightly mysterious. Standing tall in his finery, he’s ready to find a new home on a lucky collector's shelf.

You can find him and other new 'Small Wonders' in my Etsy Shop
