All of my gnomes are one of a kind.
Eight Inch Gnomes:
The inner body is a sock filled with a small amount of rice, a re-purposed tennis ball and fiberfil.
I use a wooden disk for the base.
Taller Gnomes:
I re-purpose heavy duty cardboard carpet tubes.These are attached to a base of some type which may have a flower arrangement or other decor added.
All Gnomes:
The "clothing" and hat are cut from re-puposed sweaters and hand-sewn.
Beards are made from high quality faux fur.
Many of the natural materials I use to decorate them are found on our property. Such as pine cone, lichen, moss, pods and wood pieces.
The skis, snowshoes and fishing nets are handmade by me.
I create the mushrooms you see on many of my gnomes from polymer clay and hand paint them. I also make the tiny polymer bees.
I use good quality silk and rayon flowers and dried materials.
Each gnome comes with a name card that includes his habitat and job title as well as a legend of the gnome card.
I hope I have covered the questions most often asked. Please message me if you come up with a new one!
