That is the cutest , thanks for going into details making his hat to his shoes , and also the mixing and painting. I was thinking it would be cute to give him string arms with some mitten hands. Thank you !
I wanted to thank you for all your talent and sharing your knowledge with everyone! You are doing an amazing job and I really appreciate what you do. I enjoy your videos and they have been a great help with my own projects. Keep doing what you do because you ROCK!
Adorable! And we all know that you can't have too many gnomes! And this one I can do because I actually have pinecones! And yes....I also love the shoelaces...
I just came across your video and what a breath of fresh air. Love your laugh. I have some cinnamon scented pinecones that I will try this technique on. Thanks again for a great tutorial. New subbie.
Hello Phyllis and welcome😊 Thank you for viewing my video and taking time to leave .me a comment. Please let me know if you have questions or even feedback for me. I will be very excited to see your creations. If you like see my instagram or facebook and you can private message me and attach a picture of your creations 😊 instagram.com/vennasnature Have fun making these little gnomes😊
Another cute project from you. I love how perfectly imperfect you are! I have had some art teachers who had an idea of what they thought the finished product should be and when mine didn’t match that idea I was left feeling like I failed. I will be making gnomes to decorate the house this year. I need to finish my papercrete stuff that I started this summer, while helping with all the decor for a wedding and trying to make a bunch of quilts for a friend. Just got back from holidays and once I tidy the house up, papercrete will get finished before winter in Calgary sets in. Not quite Arizona weather ;)
Thank you for your comments. I feel we should enjoy the process and the outcome. If the outcome is good that's great. If the outcome isn't what was in my head, I learned things and that can also be enjoyable😊 I used to make quilts a long time ago. Too much precision so I did not throughly enjoy it. I do sew. I used to have a sewing shop. If you go see my Instagram you can see some of my other creations other than Cement and papercrete. instagram.com/vennasnature Have a good time finishing up your projects. I have more coming as I have some orders to make up.😊
Love the gnomes...what a cute idea and those boots!!! I want to ask you how I can share some pics of my work with you I'm not sure how to do that. Thanks
Hello Teresa, Thank you for viewing and your comment and question. If you see me on my instagram you can private Message me and send me pictures of your work. I will be so excited to see it😊instagram.com/vennasnature
Is there a learning curve here? 😊 I mixed everything and it was a gloppy mess, so I added and added Portland cement and for the life of me I could not get it to set up. Will try again. But, because I was done with that, I used your papercrete recipe to finish off my gnomes, which I do love.
Not to worry, I figured out what works for me. I live in a high humidity area, so that might be what my problem was? I ended up using only about 1/8 cup of glue and just a little under 1/2 cup CementAll. Worked out great. The texture is certainly sandy but so nice to work and mold with. 😊
Very nice!!!! But I have a serious question- does it matter if it is 1 or 2 ply toilet tissue? (Not being rude, serious question) Also in your video you never verbally mention Portland cement but your written notes say to add Portland. Please advise as I truly hope to use your recipe. Thank you so much for your videos!!
Hello Cookiejug1, thank you for checking me. I made the edit to my written note in the discription. To use either portland cement or Cemental for the final kneading of the clay. Either will work. I used cemental. I appreciate you feeling that you can check and question my content. I do want to be a reliable resource😊

I'm so sorry Carol. I will look again at the recipe. I hope I posted it correctly
