Default Gnome Scene
Here is a Gnome scene I have been working on for a while now. The furniture is cut out of apple tree brances and the mushroom is turned from a peice of driftwood I have had for a while.

Arthur,
Very nice job. Love the little scene. The more of these tiny carvings I see the more I think I will try my hand at one.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

I enjoyed seeing it this morning. I can't imagine working that small.
I too, think the furniture made from sticks is very clever.

The Gnome was carved with a mini detail knife I made from an old drill bit I had. I also used a 8" magnifying light to detail and paint everything.

Thanks for all the kind words. Now I'm working on getting the Gnome a Mrs. Gnome.

Hi Arthur,

Very nice scene and carvings. I was going to say you must have great eyesight.

Nice work, Arthur - the use of the branches for the furniture is a great idea!
