*This gnome is made to order.
 
Archie Amanita, Woodland Sprout is one of the newest members of the Woodland Wanderer Clan. Archie is what the Wanderers call a Sprout. These Sprouts nestle into the leaves and stones of the forest floor to sleep during the Winter. At the call of Imboc they begin to grow a sprout on their head. This is very exciting for the forest as this heralds the wakening of the Earth. Throughout the year they will add to the sprout and become a full Woodland Wanderer.
 
Archie has a hat that blends in beneath the the bright red amanita muscaria mushrooms.  Be careful and don't eat him, or you may go "away with the fairies".  His hat is a deep red merino with recycled beige sari silk, and gold angelina fibre for sparkle.  His hair consists of multiple hand dyed colours  and sheep breeds so he can nestle down in the autumn leaves beneath the mushrooms.
 
Wanderer Sprouts have very unique features to the rest of their clan. They are squat, have little bare feet and, of course, the bendy sprout on their head.
 
These adorable and whimsical gnome OOAK dolls are hand felted. They are individually made from head to toe. The hats are created from wool, plant and sparkly synthetic fibres that are blended to create a unique fabric, no two are the same. I make gnomes for year-round display, as gnomes aren’t just for Christmas.
