Primitive Cupboard Sheep

Here is my latest creation – a pair of primitive cupboard sheep.

Both sheep are made of muslin stuffed with natural fibers. The woolly sheep is covered in vintage cotton batting and the brown sheep is heavily coffee stained. Both sheep have painted black heads, vintage cotton batting tails, and stick legs. Each sheep also wears a poem printed on heavily stained, torn paper that has been attached with two pieces of twine. The brown sheep’s poem has some dried flowers tucked in as well, and he wears a piece of twine adorned with a rusty bell around his neck. Kentucky Primitives gets credit for the design for this primitive pair.

Each sheep is for sale separately now on Old World Primitives.

  1. Hi Stephanie….I feel so honored that you paid me a visit on my blog. Thank you so much for your kind words. I was looking at your store and you have gorgeous stuff and some very familiar designs. I would love to take credit for a few of them but unfortunately I can’t….I guess I should be content that someone thought my designs were awesome enough to duplicate huh? Thanks again for visiting me and I hope you will come back again! Pam

  2. You’re welcome Pam, and I will definitely be back! I love all of your work – I just wish I’d discovered you a few months earlier when I did my last inventory order.
