Overview
This peg doll, made by 8 year old Finn Harris is named Jake. Finn likes to watch music clips on TV and this peg doll reflects the images of musicians he has seen on TV. The doll was his own idea and he made the entire doll by himself taking a great deal of time over the details.
The doll was entered in the 'Small Acorns' annual peg doll competition and is part of a group chosen to reflect the interests of New Zealand children in 2011. The peg dolls show the influence of a range of contemporary media and events including popular film and television characters, fashion, art, culture, media events, children's stories and imagined characters.
