RE: Black Thumb Chronicles : Gnome Crazy
Haha. This is classic. I think with your creative talents you could actually make your own super cool non-standard gnome. A bit of pottery and paint?

hahaha you know I was thinking about what molds they used since they're meant to be made of resin.
First would be to carve the design out. Make sure all the surfaces are smooth, then once that's sorted, get the 2 part silicone mold solution and or maybe even the silicone putty and make the mold.
As easy as it sounds, it's actually quite difficult to make silicone molds.. and if you're using resin, glass molds are THE BEST followed by silicone...
ya I got carried away there 😁
You mean make my own gnome in clay and paint it hahaha..
Sorry, I am not very good with arty stuff personally. I just remember at school doing pottery and you could mould one with your hands, fire it in a kiln and paint it. I reckon that could still look cool. Or I know a guy who used to do metal figurines and he would carve the original figure from wood (balsa I think) and then make a mould from it. Just some ideas. Have fun with it! :)
