–new adventures in garden art

To gnome him is to love him…garden gnome totem for the gardenWe are often inspired by a good adventure!  That’s why we squeeze in field trips whenever possible.  And sometimes, the journey happens right in our own studio–when we venture out of the known.

We have been experimenting with garden totems–something slightly different than our usual tile fare, but greatly influenced by the themes on our tiles.  These garden art pieces are made up of several mini-sculptures stacked and held in place with re-bar.  They can be placed in a pot or amongst the plants.

Could this be Gerome, the fishing gnome?  He sits atop a tree stub, that sits on a rock and all on top of a mushroom.  I believe he’s caught a wee blue fish.

Stay tuned for Tracy’s dog totem–in the works…
