Making a gnome figure

This is my first attempt at a gnome head. Eventually I'll have a family of gnomes who can live in future Stump Houses.

I sculpted a head in greenish scrap clay, then made a mold with purple silicone putty, and then made a reproduction with flesh-colored polymer clay.

(He'll get ears soon.)

Welcome!

My name is Julie Patricia. I'm combining a lifelong love of dolls, dollhouses, fairies, garden gnomes, leprechauns, and small furry forest creatures into a collection of handcrafted products under the name Fiddlywinks.

As I develop my skills as a miniaturist, I'll start selling my work in my Etsy shop. Until then, each item I create will be given as a gift to a friend or family member.

In the future, look for items in these collections:

- Fiddlywinks Forest Homes

- Fiddlywinks Furry Friends

- Fiddlywinks Fairies

- Fiddlywinks Folk

- Fiddlywinks Foods

- Fiddlywinks Furniture

- Fiddlywinks Fashions

... and more!

I have a BFA in sculpture and ceramics from Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, and I'm the mother of two delightful young men. My younger son came up with the Fiddlywinks name, and my older son created the logo.
