Default Christmas gnome converted

Found a nice tutorial on carving a christmas gnome, but it came out greatly different and i liked the results.
It turned out more like a santa bust, i never was good at following the instructions...lol!
Everybody in the house likes the mistake so thinking about making more for the craft shows this winter to see how they sell.
