Here is a link to posts that were made on another blog;

On that blog there are significant thoughts that never made it onto The Gnomes of New Hope blog.

This is a composite sketch 

before it was painted with watercolor

titled 

"Ferny Reading to the Little Ones"

If you look below, you will find some photos of 

the sculpture that is underway of Ferny Reading. 

These Sculptures are part of our Garden Gnome Project,

which is also tied to the smaller figurines, puppets, stop-action film work

and 

Cyclorama Project.

The Cyclorama Project will be directly tied to the model work on

 Set-Design and Animatronics.

But all of these concepts are contingent upon 

finishing, distributing & selling

 the

Illustrated Storybook Series

We are discussing producing some of the individual musical pieces, 

which have catchy themes

starting with;

The Stone of Wisdom

sung to Zach & Zebby by

The Master Gnome

Cover of Volume Three/Book Five

Cycloramas

   Interestingly enough, I realized that I need to be building models for the different set designs, so they will be integrated into the art exhibition and represent rather miniature Cycloramas. Start small and grow from there. (ie: "It's a Small World After All) Gno pun intended.

I like the idea of Animatronics Cycloramas, but if we get to that point, the puppets will be somewhere around two feet tall, making it a much bigger presentation.

Little by little, we'll get there. AG
