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 Greine, gnome of the Sunsets.  He is inspired by the beautiful sunsets reflecting off pale blue water in Summer and the snow in the Winter.   The hand felted gnome hat is a gradient of pale yellow merino, melting into a sunflower merino, firestar and tussah silk noil; peach bamboo, nettle, linen and merino; pale pink tussah silk noil; light turquoise merino, bamboo and firestar.  The hat is finished off with iridescent Angelina fibre for sparkle.  The hat includes a wire for gentle posing.  Greine sits on a 2.5 inch disk to allow free standing.  As well as being adorable, Greine is lightweight and silky soft to the touch.
 
Greine is perfect for your bookshelf and mantle.  These gnomes make an incredible gift for your friends, family, or yourself.
