a dozen mushrooms and a gnome

Gnome the first is complete. Now that the prototype is done, I’ll be able to make several more without too many problems. The first one is always the most difficult, especially without a plan. I tend not to plan crafty stuff- just pick up the materials and go with it.

I think he came out rather cute. What’s a good name for a gnome who looks like he just stepped out of a pub, is walking down the street, hands in pockets, whistling while he goes? He needs a good, gnomey name.

The mushrooms are coming along nicely as well. I thought I had a bakers dozen completed, but I could only find twelve for this photo. I hope the kitties didn’t raid my shroomie stash. I think I’ll take some more pictures before I leave for work today so that I can get some Moo mini cards printed from Flickr. I was waiting until I had enough, so that I can get cards with different pictures on them. (Moo cards are like business cards or calling cards, but little, and way more fun.)

The mushrooms have been taking me about an hour to make. The gnome took me a while longer, because of all the false starts, do-overs, and whatnot.

I want a gnome hat. I shall have to make one.
