I make ornaments and give them to friends and family each year.  This year I decided to do Gnomes.  I used the Amsterdam red ink for the roofs and faux fur from the craft store for the beards.  Made 36 of the little guys.  Already gave a few away and put some on my tree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are fantastic!

Those gnomes are just darned cute, Dan. I'll bet the recipients were very happy to receive them. 

They are cute. I had watched a video on turning them thinking I may try a few. Still thinking.......

Dan great job as usual. I got the fur to do some and just lost interest in the project, maybe next year.

Thanks for the great replies.  Had our family Christmas party today and everyone loved them.

I thought the fur was going to be a pain to do and dreaded that part.  Turned out to be relatively easy.  Cut the faux fur patches being careful of the nap and glued them on with some tacky glue from the craft store.  Stuck solid to the poly finish that I applied first.

 

 

 

Outstanding! I am always impressed when you do your annual Christmas turnings!

Excellent! Yet another over the top idea turned to happiness.

Always amazing how your creative talents result in the perfect surprise gift each year.

Thanks for sharing Dan.

Showed em to the Missus, she wants to know why I don’t make them.  Told her they were away off in my future, yet. As you can tell by this conversation, they are well thought of in this house.

Those are cool Dan, nice job

Those are great, neat idea!!
