Default Chef Gnome...
It's been awhile since I posted a new piece. This one was inspired by my favorite game, Farmville. Mr. Chef Gnome. He is about 7 inches tall on the base and is basswood and painted with acrylics and oil, finished with lacquer. This is for our upcoming show on Halloween. Thanks for looking.

Corey
