Bring the Gnomes Home!

They are encouraging you to get out into nature, find them, and bring them home! They are a clever bunch, hiding on the ground along trails, near water, or in trees. So, look carefully. If you are lucky, you will find one. If you don’t find one, you will still have a glorious day outside. So, get out and bring the gnomes home!

What do you do when you find one? Post a picture of the gnome you found on any social media, and indicate approximately where you found it, using #MarilynCreatesGnomes. You can decide to give it a home or re-hide it. Gnomes are most comfortable in a natural environment such as lounging in a potted plant, hiding in a garden, or resting near trees or water. They are protectors and bring good luck to their keepers. 

Throughout the year, gnomes will be released at different locations (see Release Schedule below) in the Pacific Northwest as listed on the MarilynCreates.com website, Gnomes page. Initially, I wanted to inspire others to go outside and enjoy this beautiful world of ours, including Mother Nature’s trees, plants, and beautiful scenery. To my surprise, I was the one who needed to get out, leave my art studio and go into nature to be grounded, refreshed, and inspired. Well, of course, because my two loves are nature and creating metal art to honor nature’s charms.

Each gnome is hand painted by me. Each one is unique, with its own personality. On the back of your gnome is a number indicating the release order and clan name (see image below). I derive tremendous pleasure from making them and hope one finds its way to you, so you too can receive its joy and protection.

If you cannot find a gnome in the wild, see MarilynCreates.com to get one of your very own.
