Gnomes, Gnomes, Gnomes!
Hello makers and creators of Hive! I hope you are having a lovely weekend.
I have noticed in the last year or so that gnomes have really become very popular, especially in the quilting catalogs I receive. Because of this, I decided to make my own version of a gnome.
I have worked with children over the decades, and have lots of supplies available to work with which is fun. I didn’t have an example to work with and I am quite pleased with the results.
Needle felt entails a lot of poking of wool with a needle that has a barb or hook on the end. I usually listen to an audio book while I am working to make the task more enjoyable.
I had some primitive wool that had mottled colors that I needed to use. It didn’t look that inspiring after I ordered it on line, but it was perfect for this project. I like the fact that his face has different colors mixed in to give an almost realistic look to my gnome.
I am not sure when I will make more. Summer will be here sooner than I expect and life will become a whirl of inside and outside activity. I am just thankful for the winter months because I can settle down a little and create.
God bless and be well! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
