Students came out of the February cold

and into the warmth of my cozy studio workshop for a session of Snowgnome-building. Repurposing is key to creating these mischievous winter folk. Experienced sweaters, hardware, containers, buttons, game-pieces & more were given new use as the Snowgnomes came to life. Glue-guns, hand tools, needles and floss were the surgical implements of choice. Shared laughter and delight rippled through-out the creative process. Ideas were forming of what else one might use to design more creatures at home. No kit, just creative wit. Let the trickle-down effect begin.
