Gnome number 1
Bartholomew
- Carved
- March 2026
- Wood
- Basswood
- First set down
- A bench on the Bluewater Trail
Bartholomew was the first one. His nose went wrong twice, and I kept the second attempt because by then I had run out of nose.
I left him on a bench on a grey Tuesday morning and walked away without looking back, which was harder than it sounds.
