This is one of my favorite thing's I've drawn this year! I had a cat convention and was working on a buncha cat merchandise, so I wanted a fur pattern for the cat that was really different from what I'd already done. Love how it turned out 😊

Here's some history about gnomes! A gnome is a mythological creature and diminutive spirit in Renaissance magic and alchemy, first introduced by Paracelsus in the 16th century and later adopted by authors including those of modern fantasy literature. Typically small humanoids who live underground, their characteristics are reinterpreted to suit various storytellers and artists. Diminutive statues of gnomes introduced as lawn ornaments during the 19th century grew in popularity during the 20th century and came to be known as garden gnomes.

Personally, my favorite interpretation are from the books by Wil Huygen from 1970s. 😊

There's gnome place like home.

My mantel has become a Gnome Party!

I also got one of the Luv Gnomes banners at Aldi, and I might just have to get another one to hang from the mantel.

Now I need to pull down the haunted house banners and put up some spring ones. I have a St. Patrick's day gnome banner, and of course the Fairy Drum Circle. I might see if we have any other gnome panels at work.

More Goblin Tea parties!

I'm working on a tablecloth idea.

I was going to make a toadstool table cover from scratch out of vinyl. Then I discovered that I already had a plain red round tablecloth...

This is two bottles of white paint. I thought I had two full bottles of white fabric paint, but it turns out that one was a partial, and the other dried up. I did have some white acrylic, which will work well enough for the project.

There is a hole on the tablecloth where I picked it with scissors, or maybe a rotary cutter during The Mask Making Frenzy of 2020. I painted over it aggressively. (There, I fixed it.)

I plan to add some more spots, probably, and add elastic to the hem so that the tablecloth bunches up underneath. This will be spectacular for outdoor tables, but also cute indoors.

(now I'm going to look for a folding round table to take to events...)

I might still do my original idea of adding the spots as applique, either by making an embroidery design or by machine sewing the white circles into place. I could actually do a couple of these, with white spots on orange, brown spots on light tan, etc.
