These adorable and whimsical gnome OOAK dolls and ornaments are hand felted. They are individually made from head to toe. The hats are created from wool, plant and sparkly 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.
 
This is Iggy Icelanderson and he is a member of the Woodland Wanderers. He is inspired by the wonderful fog and frosty mornings of the waning year. The Woodland Wanderers feature wet felted hat brims, loosely arranged banana fibre and a messy look that mimics their woodland environment. The hand felted gnome hat is a blend of baby alpaca, pale grey faux cashmere, silver merino, baby blue nettle (Ramie) fibre, grey and blue bamboo, light grey/green linen fibre, pale blue banana fibre, and silver firestar for sparkle. The hat includes a wire for gentle posing.
 
Iggy Icelanderson sits on a 2.5 inch disk to allow free standing.
 
As well as being adorable, Iggy is lightweight and soft to the touch. Iggy Icelanderson is a perfect addition to your Christmas and Winter décor and sitting on a bookshelf and mantle. These gnomes make an incredible gift for your friends, family, or yourself.

Specifics:
Iggy Icelanderson, the Woodland Wanderer:
 
He stands about 11.5 inches tall and 6.5 inches around the base including his round bare feet. He sits on a 2.5 inch wooden disk to allow free standing.
He has little flesh coloured cheeks and nose under all those locks. His hat is a hand felted blend of baby alpaca, pale grey faux cashmere, silver merino, baby blue nettle (Ramie) fibre, grey and blue bamboo, light grey/green linen fibre, pale blue banana fibre, and silver firestar for sparkle. His brim is wet felted in a messy look.
His beard and hair are made from white and blue hand dyed Wensleydale locks that have been hand scoured by me using ecologically friendly and biodegradable soap. The locks have been sourced from an ethical free-range Wensleydale sheep farm in the Cotswolds.
