Popular Post don in brooklin on Posted March 26 Popular Post Report Posted March 26 For all you Gnome-holics out there. This is a little different in that it has arms compound cut. I modified one of Diana Thompsons patterns of a Dragon. Also, the person who requested this wanted 2 signs so the sign is held on by earth magnets and can be changed easily. PS: Please no political comments as I have enough of those on Facebook to sink a ship. TAIrving, barb.j.enders, danny and 13 others 14 2 Quote
barb.j.enders Posted March 27 Report Posted March 27 Looks great @don in brooklin on. This was my take on Elbows Up. I did take two and turn them into earrings that I wear when I go out. Mike Crosa, ChelCass, Wilson142 and 3 others 4 2 Quote

Scrappile Posted March 27 Report Posted March 27 Very cute little fellow. I did not know the "Elbows UP" thing; I had to look it up. Did not surprise me to see it was related to Hockey. barb.j.enders 1 Quote

Not sure why they came out as small as they did. They are 3.5" long x 1/2" wide. Used 1/4" poplar. You don't have to steal it.... I give you permission Jim McDonald 1 Quote

If all the way to the left the key chain come out at about 3/8 high. I usually have at 100-105 and the key chain is 7/8 high which is the size of the precut wood I use for key chains. I like the idea of the small ones and going to cut a couple that way (Heart and Canada). Thanks for the idea. barb.j.enders 1 Quote
heppnerguy Posted April 5 Report Posted April 5 I am not a big gnome enthusiast but they are really cute little critters. I like how these came out and I always enjoy items that people create themselves too, as it is fun to see how new ideas come from peoples minds. I have a question for you. How did you make the part in the mustache that appears to be 'standing out'? Dick heppnerguy Quote
don in brooklin on Posted April 5 Author Report Posted April 5 When I do the beard on gnomes I use to use snowdrift paint. It works well but now I mix a little bit of drywall compound with white acrylic paint. I apply and streak with a small dowel or toothpick. Depending how looks I paint with white only . Quote
