Mr Thistlewick has finally decided on the colours for his outfit and is eagerly awaiting the day he can move into his cosy new toadstool house. I’d better crack on & finish it for him! Luckily, at just 25mm tall, he fits perfectly through the door I made for him!

Meet Thistlewick, a lively little gnome getting ready to move into his new toadstool house. Sculpted from air-drying clay with delicate polymer clay hands (see my finger for scale!), he’s still deciding on the colours for his coat and hat—something that will capture his adventurous spirit.

My go-to book for gnomes, The Secret Book of Gnomes by Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen. I believe it’s also available in English. Rien’s illustrations are a delight—if you enjoy Cicely Mary Barker's fairies and are looking for something about gnomes, you'll enjoy this.

A mushroom from my garden, hiding amongst the ivy under an aple tree, you can almost see the fairies playing around it.
It's a parasol mushroom, like the other I posted a while back.

Not happy with either the composition or focus. The lighting wasn't great either, left it too late in the day.

I enjoy painting tiny creatures, such as dogs, foxes, and these pigeons, and although it's slow and painstaking work, I feel they bring something special to the model railway scenes and dioramas I create, often helping to tell the stories at their heart.

From a while back, making the window for a tiny house from scratch. Originally, this was intended a fantasy fairy mushroom house but I went for a more natural look for that and this ended up in a witch's cottage.
