Making Peg Dolls - Giveaway and child creations

 

Margaret Bloom is one clever lady

She is the creator and writer of this wonderful book

  

Making Peg dolls

I received a copy and when my nieces visited at Christmas we sat and read it together

We decided to get busy and have a go at making some, it was an inspirational read

Full of wonderful instructions with clear beautifully taken photos

Out came the paints and paint brushes

 We then searched around for decorating material, felt pieces, fake fur, ribbon, lace,wool, acorn caps etc

 We lined them up and here they are

But that was not all, we told stories with them

My what fun we had

I have one copy of Making Peg Dolls to giveaway

It will close on Monday

Just leave a comment, and where I can reach you, if you win  

It is open to all international visitors

Love and light  Marie

Hand work leads to an artistic life

My dear daughter Handmade this doll in the Handwork room at her Waldorf School

When she was 14 years old

She has strawberry blond hair as well

I do believe that handwork should be encouraged more in main stream education

As it leads to an artistic life and a love of beauty

Doll making by my friend

My dear friend Jeune made these dolls

She asked me to put them on my Etsy shop for $10 each

I would love to sell them for her

Cheers  Marie
