To Gnome Me is to Love Me


So, the extra added bonus of Floriade?? The GNOME CONTEST!! Stacy and I decided to make a contribution to the crowds of gnomes painted by Floriade-goers. We used our combined artistic skills (which are not much sadly) to create our Canadian gnome, and had tons of fun doing it!


Sparkles!!!! Just to add a some razzle-dazzle to the little-fella!

A maple leaf is pretty difficult to paint on a gnome's face- but I think we managed to at least get the idea across. Introducing... Bob McKenzie, our all-Canadian gnome!

Bob joins his friends in the '22 and over' category. (Does artist skill peak at 22 or something? What a strange age limit.)

Some examples of corporate entries. The convict-founders of Australia gnomes above and 'Where's Waldo' gnomes below.And these are my FAVOURITES! The fabulous entries of local pre-schoolers!
