Another Style of Garden Gnomes

 I have come up with another possibility for Garden Gnomes.
As you may see on another post, I have a Lawn Display project, 
of which the subject matter is

Santa & His Elves

I have posted this in a number of places here's one;

Image of the Mind Studios: Santa and his Elves: 

My point here is that this project will be joined by a

 collection of 2D Garden Gnomes.

I found a method of creating the products 

that are in keeping with the hand painted originals

allowing me to retain the texture and aesthetics I desire.

The 2D Garden Gnomes solves a big problem with shipping cement

and it's being fragile.  I like the cement Garden Gnomes, 

but until I come up with hollow resin

(filled with sand after they are shipped)

the 3D Garden Gnomes will have to wait.

I'm in the process of building Prototypes and if all works out, as I think it will,

I will be adding those items to my Product Line Catalogue,

which is in the works.

These are some of the first Gnomes from the collection 

that I will be producing in this format..

Realize that we have almost two thousand watercolor paintings 

that have been created for the Illustrated Storybooks.

So there's a lot we could do.

So if someone wanted to do it, they could reproduce Gnomeville in their garden.

The Master Gnome
Sitting in a Honored place in your garden.

Billybob, Zebby Cousin
I can picture him standing there looking at a flower.

One of the Gnomen of the Yard
he would look cool standing in your garden.

It's actually pretty tricky figuring out what people may want, 

so I will make these to order. If I can get the pricing to work.

Send me an email if you are interested in any degree.

The Remaining Artwork

We have been working on this artwork for well over a decade

Probably closer to fifteen years, give or take,

and we are closing in on the final drawings/paintings

that are needed to complete this collection of books.

We could, in fact expand this collection by four or five more stories, 

the way it turned out with the backstory and character development.

As it stands we have close to a thousand paintings 

like the ones shown here.

As you can see the final artwork is all watercolor;

An Older Zachary "The Great"
(Zach's Great, great, great Grandfather)

 

Maybe "closing in " isn't the right phrase, because there is still much to be done.

It seems like we are closing in because relatively speaking, 

there is much less to do, compared to what has been done. 

But it's still a lot.

Many of the sketches we came up with need to be redrawn 

in order to get the aesthetic quality you see in what is shown here.  

Some artwork has had to have been redrawn 

multiple times to get the right feel.

This particular image turned out pretty cool. It could be refined further,

but i like it fine the way it is. It does the job.

We are almost out of Book Five, which was the real hang-up.

Most of Books Six & Seven are done, so it will be easier from here on out.

Contact me if you are interested in participating in any aspect of this project.
