I LOVE your technique! I can't work clay because of my hands, but I can do this. I can't wait to get the projects I'm working on now finished so I can play with making things! Thanks for sharing!! I'm glad you are feeling better and posting more!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

You are so welcome! It's wonderful to know the video was helpful to you. I know that some people do wonder why I don't just switch to clay and wood but nah, my heart is with these materials and it always will be. And thank you for the kind words, I'm really happy to be back at what I love doing!

[@BejaVue]

I love this coat rack! I truly love your technique. I don't use polymer clay because I don't have a separate oven to use for clay baking. I have used air dry clay in the past but it cracks when it dries on big projects. So I really love using your method. You inspire me!! I hope you are safe, with all of the fires in Canada now. My best friend lives in Delta and we were talking about them yesterday. I sometimes watch your videos over & over again because I enjoy themes much. Thank you for making them and sharing your brilliant ideas with us!! My head is full of ideas, as I want to make so many of the things you have shared in your videos. Thank you again.

I’m loving this whole series! You make it SO fun!!!!💕💕🧜‍♀️

That’s soo funny..I thought he was so much bigger for some reason…yeaa lim so happy to see new tutorials!!!..my favorite bed u did long ago..doesn’t seem that long back..with weather permitting I’m getting a SHE SHED next Monday..!!! It’s a 12x28..I’m sooo excited..been a YR AND 5 months since I’ve been able to work on my tree..!!! I can’t wait..so I hope u r on a roll and start making videos like u did when u were building the village.have lu done much more to the mouse tree??im excited for that one!! This is soo cool..I love it.I use to have a old hall tree coat rack til my husband broke it while moving it on the back of a truck😢🥺 I always loved the coffee stain u did on things..I never measure either lol

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

measuring is more difficult for me than just eyeing it, lol as you saw, I made a ton more than needed! hahaha Anyway, how exciting!! Your own shed!! That's just awesome, I wish you many creative and happy days in there! I'm happy for you. As for the mouse house, I know as soon as the inspiration hits me, I'll be in it day and night, lol so so many things to make :)

[@katnilsson]

You make things look so easy 😀, I’m pretty sure that my coatrack wouldn’t look that good. You are really skilled and have developed an eye for realistic looking miniatures. I would buy this coatrack just to display on my little shelf in the kitchen dedicated for miniatures. Love watching and listening to you 🥰

[@jollymatilda5890]

That's just adorable Sharon. You did a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

You are so welcome and thank you!

[@jkom601]

Really enjoyed this, so whimsical and delightful too, thanks for sharing your techniques ❣️

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Glad you enjoyed it! And you're welcome :)

[@rainsongt189]

What's even better than the coat rack is this is the second time you've uploaded a video on my birthday! So, thank you for a wonderful birthday gift.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Happiest of birthdays! I'm so happy to hear that I managed to upload on such a great day. And thank you for the wonderful comments, it truly means the world to me.

[@anastasiasholeinthehollerc8697]

Wow, this is an excellent idea. Like you said, opens up so many avenues for other projects. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@whitelinewidow]

Yes, I agree with you...this took me back to when you were making your "wood" furniture. I thought you did an awesome job then and you still do. I don't know why but I thought I saw a very tiny mouse hiding under the coat stand...lol...just my imagination.....It turned out great just like all of your creations.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Lol I’ll have to go look what it was! And thank you 😊❤️

[@whitelinewidow]

@@WhereTheGnomesLive There was nothing there Sharon....I just kept seeing it in my head in my imagination.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

ohhh lol thank you, I'd be looking and looking :D Imagination is the greatest thing, so fun

[@whitelinewidow]

@@WhereTheGnomesLive I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause you any problems....:D

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

@@whitelinewidow no worries, you told me in time, And even if you didn’t I would have had a good laugh about it 😅 ❤️

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Sharon,i am making my little coat rack too. mine is now drying. thanks,and sleep well. veronica

[@palomamiyaya]

You are my favourite youtuber crafter, just because you make things without expending a lot of money, and the way you explain things are very easy to follow, thank you

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Wow, thank you, that means so much! I really appreciate the feedback and the kind words. Happy crafting!

[@sharonmikalauski6503]

Just love your work! I can't wait to see what you create next. Another job well done👍.

[@donnabailey4832]

I love your videos, thank you for sharing your talents with us. I have learned so much

[@BejaVue]

It’s beautiful! I love that color!

[@mezmarionybarra]

So So So Delighted to watch you work Thank You ❣❣❣

[@mikrogamis721]

Mom, is still amazed and fascinating by your work. She has so much trouble comprehending the "how" of it. Every video she sit enraptured watching it. She wants to make something, but is too afraid to try. And sadly, I don't have the physical (or family political) space to make any. (All my hobbies were force back into deep storage.) But amazing work!

[@MiniatureMadnessofcherylg2696]

I never thought to use coffee for making a wood stain, though, I have used it many times for other things. You are a very talented lady, can't wait for your next video!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you very much! The very first time I used it was for staining wooden coffee stir sticks when I made my very first miniature hardwood floor. I had no real stain on hand, and even if I did, I hate the smell, lol so coffee was it! That was 2013. I've used it for so many things since. The color lasts forever if you seal it in.

[@cynthiawallace4995]

Love, love your stuff! Great inspiry!

[@margaritadonoso3387]

Great, thanks for the video I am really enjoyed. Kisses from Australia 😘🙋‍♀️

[@pranitab]

What an amazing work dear! Sorry to say I am in love with your Radagast

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I can't blame you for that, he's rather handsome all dressed in his rags, lol

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks this is a great rustic coat rack.

[@getacorinasmadu6678]

Lovely ♥️!!! Thank's for sharing!💐

[@NorahIK]

I built myself a wall mounted bookself out of pallet wood, and i wanted to hide the metal bars with what would look like tree trunks, i will use cardboard out of boxes for the base shape, i was wondering what to color it, the shelves are rustic white, and i think i love the coffe stain effect i would try that!

[@MTB214]

Would clear nail polish work to seal it if don’t have any sealer? I want to make one of these for the first miniature room I’ve ever made. I already made couch, curtains and carpet for it. I’ll use metal coat hangers for mine.

[@barbaragrace1992]

I absolutely love that bed as well as the coat hanger. Are or have you made bedside tables in the same way?

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I've made a table and chairs the same way, a small set for a mushroom house but that's not on video

[@barbaragrace1992]

@@WhereTheGnomesLive can you film them and show them on a u tube clip as a special? Or put up pictures on your facebook page? I don't have Twitter or any of the other social pages. I think they are just so beautiful and also shows that you don't need much to make something beautiful.

[@edwinacoffman6429]

Oh my Goodness this is sooooo cute!

[@sameoldrecord]

As fantastic as ever love it 💕

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you so much!

[@jollymatilda5890]

Can you save that instant coffee stain to use later? Will it keep in the refrigerator?

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

you can save it for a few days. I don't know exactly how long it will last but yes, I've used few days old stain before. I made way too much in this video, you really only need to mix up a small amount at a time.

[@jollymatilda5890]

@@WhereTheGnomesLive Thanks Sharon. ❤

Parabéns Muito perfeito

[@Wherethewindblows524]

How cute. U r so fun. Omg u did a bed. I made a couch for my sons house out of just foam taky glue material made a fire place out of card board it was fun doing all the kids homes with them in school

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I’ve made a number of different style beds but the rustic ones are my favourite. I think that’s because I dream of living in a log house one day lol so I live through the Gnomes 😂 I do remember the days, not so long ago, building with my kids too. It’s a joy to have those memories, they were always so excited to make things.

[@madzabinga8382]

Hi, Sharon! Do you follow Happy Home Mama's channel? You mentioned you discovered your own method for recreating a carved wood look. On her channel she just made the most amazing faux carved wood chair, using Apoxie Sculpt. I have seen many other KZbinrs use it in armature design for smaller scale projects. Just wondered if you have tried it, and what your thoughts are on it. There is another really cool product called Warbla. It is a heat activated material that is used for sculpting. Have you used it before?

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

no, I don't follow the channel but I did look for the video and that's really cool. It's amazing what one can do with clay, and speciality clays too, it's so impressive! Amazing details achieved. I probably wont ever use it on my channel since I try to keep to the simple and cheap materials so others can easily find the same things but it's really interesting for sure. I haven't heard of Warbia either, I'm off to google it now. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

Love it! And also that the cheesecloth on his cloak almost looks like fur. but then, would Radagst wear fur? Nah.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

no, I think it's rags much like his gloves, as far as I can tell from on pictures online of him. He does have a bit of fur around his one boot though, I did double check that since I feel he wouldn't wear fur either. There might be a reason, lol we'll find out one day!

[@edwinacoffman6429]

I feel like it would have to be wolf shed because they are heavy shedders when they go from their winter to summer coats and he gathered the hair and sewed it into a fur so he could stay warm for the winter

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

@@edwinacoffman6429 that’s exactly what it is!! Wow, thank you for that. I’m completely satisfied with that explanation ❤️

[@NorahIK]

I am starting to think that Radagast would fit in the gnomes tree (or he can build himself a house somewhere around it) i think he'll be very welcomed there!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I'm feeling the same, lol I love him a lot. I'll be writing about him in the future so we'll def see him now and then

[@alcondevuelo61]

As usual amazing!

[@ChristineARose]

Love this lots. :)

[@pranitab]

And lol so much coffee!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

ya, I have more trouble trying to measure things, especially more so if I'm tired, lol that's why I put in the note.. could have done the same with a couple tablespoons haha
