Peg Doll Swap


Here is the full photo of my peg doll that went to Quilt'n'Sandy. Happily she has now arrived at her new home.
She had a head transplant as her original head was too small to paint a face on, hopeless for make-up! So her original head was "lathed" down to a stump, and the new bead glued in place. We then drilled a fine hole through the shoulder area, and placed the pipe cleaner arms.
Her hair isn't really dread-locks, but chenille yarn, poked into the hole on the top of the wooden bead that became her new head, and glued with PVA. Her scarf is made from tatting cotton.
I called her Peggy Sue, until I finished her. I think she looks like a Maureen, rather Irish in that dark green.
I think she looks like she is about to go ice skating huh?
She is standing in front of a painting I did of the property at the corner of Bungower and Mooruduc Highway in Mornington, as is the family in the photo below.

Peg Dolls


Went in a Peg Doll swap with the Craft forum ladies and have sent my Peg off to Sandy. This is a "family photo" of the four pegs I made. Actually only completed one.
I miss Peggy, or Maureen, already.
Peg has taken this photo in miniature with her to her new home at Sandy's
I'll publish a full size one of the one I sent when I hear she has arrived safely.
