This little family was made to represent some good friends of ours. This is Michelle, Gabriella, Robert and Alexey:
The BV Gang:
And the whole Wood Family:
Yes, I got a little carried away making little wood friends for my little wood children. But, it was well worth it as these little wood people were well initiated today. They were buried in the dirt, tossed for hopscotch, passed from one neighbor kid to the next and held in grubby, chocolate laced hands. This is a good lesson in attachment for me. I'm trying to let it all go, but I think I'll apply one more coat of varnish after scrubbing them clean!! Then, I'll feel better.

You are so talented. I'm really surprised you don't have an Etsy store. You'd do gangbusters.
I love these.
Those are wonderful! So talented you are, so creative. I love them! They will be loved for years to come.
How adorable! I love them and would love to make some for my son! Would you mind sharing what paints and varnish you used? Thank you!
Alicia, I used acrylic paints (an **ahem** permanent markers) and an indoor/outdoor varnish all purchased at JoAnns. I bought the wooden dolls through caseyswood.com, but you can get the little girl ones at JoAnns as well!
So, cute! I was going to ask where you bought the peg people but I see you've already answered that. I'll check it out. I'm making little Waldorf style gnomes and fairies and such with peg people and felt. So much fun. I'll blog about it soon.
