My screen time on electronics, including my cell phone, is very limited and that's a big part of the reason you aren't getting daily posts from me. My crafting time is also somewhat limited so I don't have as many things to post as I had a couple of months ago. But today, I want to share two gnomes I managed to complete, although the larger, white one took me more than 3 weeks to complete. I'll share it first.
This is my first gnome with boots and legs and I loved making them. I must have watched boot making videos on YouTube 100 times (many of which were repeats, watched over and over again until I got the basics down pat.) On the gnome itself, I used 3 different faux fur trims and 4 different fabrics (fleece, satin, faux leather, and felt.) The little pocket bag at his waist is similar to one you might find on a man wearing a kilt. The gold trim is metallic. I added a glittery snowflake to the piece of gold trim on his hat and it sparkles madly IRL.
He's a good 24 inches tall from the bottom of his boots to the tip of his hat. Next time, I think I'll consider a gray beard or at least a beard sprinkled with gray for a bit more contrast against all the white.
I also finished a cute Santa-style gnome. He's about 15 inches tall and made with a cone body, red and black plaid fleece, faux fur trim, and a burlap toy sack.
