Make a DIY Gnome - the Armature
UPDATE: The gnome is now finished, and you can see how he came out here: https://youtu.be/ZY4X_pyVFYM
In this video, the DIY gnome isn't finished yet - but the armature is now ready for its final 'skin.' I'm going to use the same hard coat that I used in my last video, but you can use paper mache or paper mache clay, if you'd like your gnome to live inside.
If you want to use my pattern, you can find a link to the PDF on this page: https://www.UltimatePaperMache.com/gnome
This little fellow will be about 18" tall when he's finished. The inspiration for his design is the wonderful book Gnomes by Wil Huygen and Rein Poortvliet. I love that book, and I'm glad my little gnome gave me an excuse to go back and look at the lovely drawings again. Be sure to look for it at your local library.
The pumpkin I made last month is holding up really well, but I can't leave him out all year (that would be weird). Fortunately, gnomes don't have a special holiday, so they can stay outside as long as they want to.
In case you missed that video, I'm trying to find a way to make waterproof outdoor sculptures that use the same skills we already use for paper mache. I'll coat my gnome with the same products that I used for the pumpkin, and we'll see if he can stand up to a whole year of Minnesota weather.
