Cue dramatic internal dialogue

I bought a bulk bag of peg dolls to paint but I didn't really know what to do with the smallest ones. They're really too small to make good people. Or so I thought.

While contemplating the problem one day, I doodled this little lady.

My first attempt at creating her turned out pretty well.

Lately, though, I've been watching the Cartoon Network show Craig of the Creek and I find myself quite taken with the character Kelsey, who is very fierce in spite of her small stature. She also happens to wear her hair in a sort of bun.

her parakeet, Mortimer, tends to ride on her head

 Who knows what else these little pegs will turn out to be.
