Artist Bio

My name is Barb Moore and I have a passion for anything primitive. I have been collecting prim stuff for as long as I can remember and my favorite is extreme prim dolls. Most dolls I make are extreme and sometime just simple prim. I also enjoy making prim goods. Most dolls I make have some kind of theme and most come with a hand-made flag, kinda like my trademark. Hope there will be a doll that will make ya smile and warm your heart. I will no longer be taking orders. I really feel that dolls should remain one-of-a-kind, this just makes them extra special. Just so you know everything I make comes from an inspiration deep inside me, rather it be something I have seen or a feeling of happiness or sadness. You can be assured that everyone of my creations is an original Primitive Oswald design. I am also a published artist, you can view my work in the Fall 2010 issue of Prim's magazine. I am on the cover and also a six page layout inside. I am also featured in the Summer 2012 issue. Please take a peek at the talented artist that fill the pages of this amazing magazine. www.primsmagazine.com thanks,Barb
