Hello Wombat

The morning I was set to work on the vegetable-themed dolls for my book Making Peg Dolls I mentioned to my friend Caroline that this was the plan.  I told her I was going to design carrots, tomatoes, radishes, peas-in-a-pod and a cabbage.  Her response was, "How about corn?"  Corn?!  Did I not already have enough to do?  Corn.  The idea of a corn-on-the-cob peg doll stuck in my head, and so of course I had to make one (thank you Caroline!)

A similar thing happened the other night.  I was chatting via email with my friend Clare in Australia and she mentioned she'd been sketching Australian animal peg dolls.  Australian animal peg dolls?!  Am I not already working on a pile of other projects?  Australian animal peg dolls.  The idea stuck in my head, and so as soon as I had a free moment I grabbed some dolls, paint and felt...


 Hello wombat.


Hello koala.

    Now weren't you the one who said you were giving peg dolls a rest!
    The Rainbow Lorikett reminds me of my friend's apartment in Sydney, which is level with trees were lots of those colourful birds hang out.

      Oh, ha ha! Yes, I did say I was going to give peg dolls a rest -- at least as far as my blog was concerned (behind the scenes the peg doll elves are still hard at work on top-secret assignments...)
