I work well to a deadline. I have so many artist/creative projects that are in my head, desperate to get out. I always feel that time is against me!
An upcoming birthday is the perfect motivator to get me to start and finish this project that I had began preparing for about a year ago!
My preparations began with sourcing these peg people, I think (though it was so long ago!) that I got them from eBay.
I knew I needed a plan before I just began to paint so I sketched out a peg family and decided on what they would wear, what colours or use and how to do their hair. For this project I created a generic family, it would be easy to personalise a peg family with hair colour and styles and clothing choices, similar to what I did when creating Our Pebble Family.
Using acrylic paint and my new favourite Posca Paint Pens, I got to work.
The process for, sketching to finishing the painting only took a couple of days.
As I have made them to be played with, rather than just looked at I finished them off with a couple of coats of acrylic varnish.
I was pleased with the end product, I hope the birthday girl will be 😀

The pens are great. I think they came from Japan so make sure you order soon, ours too about 3 weeks to arrive!

These are GORGEOUS!! I keep seeing these on etsy and thinking I should order some of our family but maybe I should try and give them a go myself! I’m not sure mine would look quite as good as yours though! #fabfridaypost

You should give it a go, if you can find the time. The paint pens make doing the detail so much easier 😀

This is such a cool idea! I am definitely going to be doing this on my christmas holidays 🙂 Posca pens are so good, I have a small set of them and they are really great! I totally get what you mean by having lots of ideas in your head but not having the time to do them or start them and not finish #fabfridaypost

Hope you get round to it. I found it rather therapeutic. I’ve got a couple of projects I’ve been meaning to do for ages which hopefully I’ll do before Christmas!
