More gnomes...
Katie
So you know that saying about a picture being worth a thousand words? Well hopefully this one little photo and few lines of writing will do for today, we're only a week into NaBloPoMo, but I just don't have a big post in me tonight. I do have a photo of these gnome babies that I finished this morning-
They are made from felted wool blanket, stuffed with the wool from Chastity's sheep and their faces are tea-dyed cotton knit. Their little "belts" are scraps of different colored yarn. I know I am forever asking for feedback, but I haven't even run these by Laura yet, and am curious to know what you think about them. I am worried they might be too strange and amorphous, but I like their starry eyes and floppy bodies. This particular one is a bit low waisted, I need to fix him, the others are split about in the middle. They are 9 or 10 inches tall.
I am also working on a bunch of tiny gnomes made from wool scraps and clothespins, but may have to actually do something else tomorrow, like laundry, I think everyone in my family would appreciate some clean socks!

uh...is that your new basket in the background? can't sneak anything past me! Beautifully simple. just had to point that out. Moving on, I know that the little gnome is probably just leaning in the picture, but I like how it looks like he has his hands on his hips and is looking inquisitively at the camera.
I like how these aren't super fragile so kids could actually take them into the forest to play with them.
nice job.
