My Little Man Gnome

Oh My Goodness... what fun this is... I finally took some time this afternoon...  and made a little man for my little lady... but the man is a little too tall... for her... so I will have to force my self to make him and her both mates now... this could be a long process...LOL.. oh dear me...  what a problem.. .(LOL... HUGE LOL...!!!! ) 

So here he is...

 

I don't have names for these little ones as of yet... as they don't even have houses to live in yet either... so when they do get paired up they will have a family name and of course a first name too..  he is about 5 inches from the shoes/boots up to the top of his GNOME hat...  I love him... he has so very much character... 

 

I think I laughed the entire time I made him... what a hoot I had...  I also dyed all the wool for him too..  I didn't have flesh colored wool, so I made his head white... and covered it with a coral pink...  up close it is a little too pink... but he looks normal here...  LOL.. just precious is what he is...

 

 

 

 

 

Hi.... now you can see his mustache and also his bright eyes...  even the head band on his hat... what a gnome dude he is... (is there such a thing in the gnome kingdom??? 

 

 

About three years ago I made a shadow box.... a la fairy land... and he wanted his picture taken in front of it.. but since you have seen him close up... you can see he is pretty active... 

 

He is so cute... can you think of a good name for him... any suggestions I would LOVE to hear... 

 

Thanks for stopping by today for a visit to see my little ones...  I need a name for her too...

 

Any help naming these little ones would be greatly appreciated... thanks a million for all your help...

I do hope you have a wonderful day and week-end... and I will see you soon... 

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

 

My first felted FAIRY

Being Wednesday I had a lot of misc things I had to do.. and didn't think I would get into the studio at all.. but I did... wow... and I got a lot done...

 

First off, I dyed some natural roving  with my Tim Holtz Color Wash sprays...  they are suppose to hold the color even though washing... so I am told??? Not really sure... but  I will NOT be washing these, so I am not worried about that... 

 

I put the color into the wool and then when it was dry, I combed it with my wool combs... 

 

OKAY...  then I realized that I needed to make a doll armature...  and started to look for my wrapped wires... perfect... found some... then I needed some beads, and maybe some other fibers, and assorted things... (had to clean out a few drawers too... they were messy and that is my rule when I see something like that...)  so at about 2 in the afternoon, I was ready to start to make my first FAIRY...

 

And then my hubby came in for lunch...  OMG... so I always like to enjoy that time together...even if I dont' eat... which today I didn't...  so I talked for a while... did his dishes... and ran into the studio... LOL... literally... 

 

so here is the first FELTED  FAIRY I have ever made...  I have only felted very limited too... so both were sort of new to me...

 

I really had fun... and used all my own hand dyed wools...

 

 

I have already figured out a few things to change about making these... but sure did like the way this one came out...  LOL.. but I bet after a few more, I will be upset that I posted this one.. .right??? 

Top half of her...  she has flowers all the way around her beautiful Butterscotch hair... LOL.. 

 

Put a dime in a picture so you could see how large she is... only about 2 inches tall...  I love her... she is so cute... now I  have to make a HOUSE for her... how come every thing begets something else...  oh well.. I will have to make one...  LOL... loving all this miniature stuff... 

 

Hope you have had a nice day... and have created something fun...  if not... why haven't you???  Get up and create and become ALIVE with the feelings of creation... 

 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and I really appreciate all your comments that you are all leaving... I really look forward to reading them all..
