Carve a World of Gnomes

A new twist on one of the most popular carving subjects, here is an exciting project guide that incorporates international influence. Featuring seven step-by-step wood carving projects with full-size patterns and detailed painting instructions, this booklet takes you to various countries by way of adorable gnomes to carve.

From a Kentish gnome who redirects lost belugas back out to sea to a Peruvian gnome who herds a semi-wild alpaca flock in the Andes, the designs represent different parts of the world and include charming character backstories specific to the land. Projects range from beginner to intermediate.

Author Nikki Reese’s approachable carving style and use of color will have any carver creating a global gnome collection. Also included is a bonus project of an adorable miniature gnome home.
