More Gnomes



I've been making gnomes for some time now in a number of mediums, so it was pretty natural for me to bring them into the 3d printing realm a couple of years ago.  I really started making gnomes when my artistic focus was pottery.  They fit with the magical/mythical themes I like to explore, and also sold well at the Waldorf School Christmas market I attended occasionally.



Above you can see some gnomes I currently have in my Etsy Shop.  I'm really excited about expanding this theme using my 3d printer.  I could make a gnome for anything really couldn't I?  One might wear an easter bunny suit.  Another might work in the circus.  I can't wait to make some steam gnomes!

Perhaps one of the things that tickles me about my gnomes is that they all have cute little bums :)

Witch Gnomes & Treasure


Yay!  I had my first Etsy sale of 3d printed gnomes!  This little trio of witches found themselves a home, and I just sent them off today.  There's a photo for you.

It's funny that these lil ladies were the only gnomes I have currently available that weren't featured in Etsy treasuries!  And on that note, take a moment to appreciat ethe work of the curators who made these lovely treasuries that feature my other gnomes as well as a variety of well deserved products from crafters around the world:

Inaugural Post


Here comes the carefully chosen bottle of christening champagne swinging wildly from the chandelier, breaking on the edge of this writing desk.  *CRASH* !

There, first post done.  Now who's going to clean this mess up?

Welcome to you,  if you've gone back far enough to read this :)
