There are so many great memories from that time I could write a book but I'll just share one memory that makes me laugh when I think of it. Most of you know I've been building a Gnome Home since 2014. I write stories, take pictures, and most of the time I'm living in that world. I guess you could say I'm a bit of an eccentric but #LifeIsGood I was building one day in the Gnome's home when Jordan's face lit up like a lightbulb and he was completely serious, "MA! I found the perfect husband for you! You should marry Radagast the Brown. You guys would be perfect together!" Let's think about this a bit shall we, Radagast is an eccentric wizard living in a wonky house in the forest. He's a protector of animals and is a friend to the birds. He travels by way of sleigh pulled by 12 Rhosgobel rabbits. Yup! That sounds about perfect to me, my boy, a match made in a magical forest! ❤❤❤ That day I decided I would eventually make a mini Radagast just for sweet memories sake. I'll never forget his face all lit up when he said that to me, I giggle every time I think of it, it's the way he sees me! And yes, I would totally live in that house. #TrueLoveForever

[@madzabinga8382]

Cuuuute! That is one of those treasured memories for sure! He kinda sounds like the guy for you!

[@Feralfoundry]

The actor that played Radaghast also played Dr Who way back in the 80s... hard to miss with a Time Lord AND a Wizard... :)

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

ohhh I actually didn't know that! What a catch he is!! lol

[@sadiedayz2405]

That Jordan is one wise lad! Maybe he could hunt me up a new man!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

lol I'll tell him you said so :)

[@palomamiyaya]

I don’t know the character, apart from watching you creating him and telling the story about making a husband, the bird poop just kill me, so much detail, you are my favourite creative KZbinr. And you make everything look easy to make.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

wow! That's amazing to hear, thank you very much! And putting bird poop on his head felt so wrong, but, it had to be done haha

[@barb.christine9962]

☘👍Dear Sharon, today I found your Website on youtube, I'm really excited and have subscribed, the minis and the wizard and and and, I love stuff like that. Kind regards from Austria. Your videos are great. 👍

[@wendybarber5347]

A few months ago of channel surfing, I spotted your video. I watched and saved it. Finally after knee surgery, I started a piece today. Thanks so much for your tutorial.

[@sherrywegner9737]

Sharon, this was a long video but I could not stop watching it. This is just an amazing process and I keep wondering how in the world do you know how to do all that stuff. I am encouraged to try making my own gnome using your helpful video. I have learned so much from your video's in the past as well. THANK YOU! I love your Rataghast!

[@FreeSpirit350]

I can’t thank you enough! I’ve made a version of your hedgehog and now onto this! I’m loving every minute! I can’t believe you can make all this from these materials! You’ve opened my mind and world up so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx 🙏🏼🤍

[@MyMinimadness]

HE IS SO ADORABLE! You have really inspired me for this Fall Witch project. You can build anything with foil, glue, and tissue! So AMAZING!

[@Julsfr]

He is absolutely gorgeous. Adorable 💕💕💕 I've seen alot of Radagast figures, but none are as cute yours .

[@dawnoneil9793]

I absolutely loved watching your video, it's so nice you left in the mistakes and explained them. The finished model is awesome, so clever and the use of foil and paper towels incredable, would never have thought of that. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that feedback. It sounds so cheesy but mistakes really are wonderful things that teach us so much. Years ago I would stress over those mistakes but I've grown quite fond of them, especially when building trees because fixing those adds so much more character to the finished tree.

[@kathysausen6493]

You did an absolutely fantastic job on him!!!!💕💕🧜‍♀️

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you 🤗 I appreciate that!

[@margaritadonoso3387]

[@loricody4956]

This is such an adorable story! Soooo precious. Why don’t you make a miniature you, to go with this guy? He needs his wife by his side!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

lol I have to make a number of things for this guy yet, like a sleigh, rabbits and more. I probably won't make it in there before I have to move onto other things but thank you so much for the fun idea!

[@loricody4956]

I LOVE JRR Tolkien work. You are doing a great job on the Brown Wizard. Looking forward to the next video.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you very much!

[@tiffanytrippeer5401]

I was watching an earlier video of yours where you were building a tree using a bunch of small boxes. In the introduction video you stated that you used to make castles out of dressers, I think if you made a series of castle videos it’d be cool. Of course that’s if you wanted-it is your channel after all, love your creativity and easy to follow directions too 😊

[@katnilsson]

You are so clever and imagination is over the roof 😀, all the important things that a genius has and Radagast wife (of course 🥰). You are unbelievably creative and I love to watch you work, figuring how to solve a problem. Even more I love your voice and your warm laughter always makes me smile. Keep up doing what you do best, everything creative 😀. Blessing from a Finnish 🇫🇮 woman living in Sweden

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

ohhhhh!! I do get a skip in my heart when my fellow Finnish people stop by to say hello. Your comment made my day and I thank you for the kind words and wonderful feedback. I was on the phone with my mother when your comment came through so I read it to her, she said hello to you, lol Again, thank you. Lots of love from this Finnish girl living in Canada ❤️🇫🇮❤️

[@cherylwells9116]

Love this. You will have to make his sledge and rabbits, so that he can get around. ❤️ From England, UK

[@santosrivera724]

Sharon, all I can say is this is awesome. You were the first person I dared follow a video and I made several of your animal amigurumi and I fell in love with your teaching skills boy did it work for me. My favorite was an inspired character of a story about a forest and trees I can't remember the name but I was so proud of you and me because your voice and teaching made it possible for me to complete the project from beginning to the end. With that being said this video is something I want to try and when I do I will be sharing so you can see my take on this. So glad I once again bumped into you.❤❤❤❤

[@barbaragrace1992]

Still watching but he looks so so so good. Once again a work of art from you.

The eyes were a stroke of genius! I wouldn't have thought oof using split peas in a million years!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you so much! And I’ll never run out, a bag would make a gazillion eyeballs lol I love them. I was in my craft room cleaning earlier and found myself admiring his face, thinking his eyes have held up very nicely. They still have a sparkle when he looks at me ❤️

he really does, he thinks he's super cool. I showed him this guy in the cape I just finished last night and his eyes went wide, "MOM! He's cool" lol I can't wait to finish and show him the rest :)

[@ppod1349]

You are so clever. I really love your videos/tutorials and you have such a lovely voice. How brilliant that your son thought Ragnagast would be your perfect husband. I don’t have kids, but I do have two Godsons and I would love it if they ever said/thought something like that about me. Bless you for sharing your talent with us. 😘

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

You're welcome and thank you so much! I really appreciate that, I'll let my son know what you said :) He's been enjoying watching me create this tiny husband he picked out for me, lol and the lovely comments about his excellent choice.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

ohhhh that is like music to my ears!

[@medievallassie]

He is magnificent! Your attention to detail such as his cheek position when he smirks is incredible. I so excited to see your idea about the yarn "fluff"...it is perfect! We all have our favorite tools to use and for me it was an x-acto knife. After watching ton's of videos during COVID, I saw so many artisans using ball tools for everything from painted mandalas, curving flower petals and FIMO faces. I can't remember exactly what it was that I was doing that made me decide to order a set but I did. Now I have about 10, in a variety of sizes and I LOVE them!! They are incredibly easy to use and I have never been an artist who has to have a lot of tools. Like I said, I could smooth a surface with an X-acto so why have a separate tool? The ball tools have really been a joy to have. They are excellent for eye sockets, noses, cheeks and general modeling. I think you would really enjoy having a set.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you so much, I really appreciate the suggestion. I actually have a couple of them, they are wonderful when working with clay for sure. I haven't yet tried the ball on paper towels though, maybe next time I'll try it. I use a pointy tool so that I can move the material around easily, I need to be able to poke at it and drag it. Paper towel details will never be as smooth as clay when dried that's just part of the deal when working with that material, lol but with that said, clay can be used instead of the paper towels when you get to that step. Thanks again, I truly appreciate it. Happy crafting!
