A recent round-up of custom peg dolls: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Gandalf the Grey, Hello Kitty, Batman, Robin and the Joker, and Doc McStuffins.

Here are the Wizard of Oz characters painted in peg doll form, with two variations. First is the style I created for etsy and for craft shows, mostly based on the classic movie, with a little artistic liscense. The second set was painted for the coolest 4 year old ever, a little girl in love with the classic books. We made two small changes to acknowledge the film - ruby slippers instead of silver, and a green face on the Wicked Witch.

I've always been fascinated by the way we envision the future - especially what we thought the future might look like back in the 40's and 50's. The Space Collection peg doll set includes an astronaut, robot and space creature. They are retro futuristic, looking like something that came straight out of a 1950's drive-in movie. The last picture shows an expanded set with a few variations.

 Things are shifting here at Pegged By Grace. When I began painting peg dolls, I was honing my rusty painting skills, and my first peg dolls were often recreations of well known characters. Now however, I am less interested in following other people's footsteps. What excites me is creating peg doll sets that ignite children's imagination, and that spark joy in adults.

This is the Western Collection: a set of cowboy and indian peg dolls. They are ready for wild west adventures. The set for sale in my etsy shop includes a masked robber, a cowboy, a cowgirl, and an Indian. The extended set in the bottom picture has two indians, and instead of a bank robber it includes a "white hat" character - a hero in disguise.
