Details

This one of a kind polymer clay fantasy sculpture portrays a Halfling visiting his neighbor, the Gnome, and sharing some vegetables from his garden. This whimsical piece features a lighted mushroom house as well. The mushroom has a green cap with glow in the dark leaf and star accents. The mushroom measures 4 1/2 inches tall and the cap is about 6 1/2 inches wide. the base of the sculpture is 6 inches at the widest point. The Halfling is wearing a straw hat and offers the gnome a basket filled with tomatoes, lettuce, corn, and carrots, all sculpted in polymer clay. The gnome's mushroom house is surrounded by beautiful flowers in reds, yellows, and oranges. Each flower and leaf was individually sculpted and carefully placed. There's a wooden Welcome sign over the door, which is open to allow more light out. Inside the house, which was sculpted around a glass votive, is a battery powered tea light. I covered the bottom of the sculpture with felt, which I've signed and dated. This whimsical, one of a kind piece is full of tiny little details, and is sure to bring a smile to your face!

Inspiration/Story Behind This Product

This piece was sculpted as an entry into the Polymer Clay Smooshers guild's Fairy Tale Challenge. The story of these two friends developed as I sculpted the piece. I've been longing to get back out in my own garden. Here Henry the Halfling has been working hard in his garden all season, and now has plenty to share with his friend Gnor the Gnome. Gnor's specialty is flowers, and he has an abundance of beautiful blooms around his house. Grampa and our neighbor used to exchange flowers and vegetables just like this. I guess these two fairy tale characters are my representation of their gardening friendship.

What a lovely transaction from start to finish! Great communication and fast shipping from this artisan who has a personable and helpful attitude. Michelle really knows how to make her customers feel important! My cat Chester tried to help me "open" the shipping envelope that had this catnip in it, so I guess he could smell it through two sealed bags! I can't wait to make a toy for him to try it out!
