i've been searching images of gnomes for a project i'm working on. here's what i've found:

( i realize i shouldn't assume that you have the same keen interest in them as i do... )

black hills garden gnome
this company makes early-2oth century antique garden gnome reproductions. they have an old-world-european feel to them, which i like very much. reminds me of these trolls my norwegian uncle brought back for me form norway - they scared the pants off of me.


GNOMES by Poortvliet/Huygen
this book was a gift from my grandmother for my first birthday. i sincerely believed that gnomes existed, based on the careful and knowledgeable way that they are presented in this book.




there is also a world wide gnome association

hmm....

anyway, i am sill searching and researching these mighty, little creatures. i haven't seemed to get past the pictures quite yet, however.

oh, and beware, for some reason google image searching 'gnomes' brings up some some inappropriate pictures.
