A muddle of pegs

Comments

I've commented on your daughter's painting (side by side) with your etching included. Great stuff! I remember these old wooden pegs so well and also the 'peg bag'!

Very clever subject and arrangement. Great to see wooden pegs rather than the plastic ones!

Thanks so much all for your lovely comments. I will be passing my wooden pegs to my 2 granddaughters. Even if its purely for sentimental value.

My daughter took a picture of my pegs bucket some time ago and I thought it could look quite good done as a scratchboard etching. After scratching out the main form, I added some colour using Schwan Stabilitone water crayons. Some of these pegs are really old, my mother used them when she was a young mother herself so this makes a for a great trip down memory lane.
