Gnot Just Another Gnome
Gnathan is locally known for leading themed hikes. “Mossy Walkies,” “A 20k Keeps the Doctor Away,” and “Scree Slopes for Bees” are some of his highest-rated rambles. Like many gnomes, he loves the outdoors so much because a toadstool house isn’t somewhere to spend 24 hours a day, even though they’re bigger on the inside.
Do you love gnotwork? Gnathan is the gnome for you. Cables and textures and gnomes, oh my!
Loads of video tutorials mean you have help all along the way for any parts that you need help with.
Many tutorial videos provided. Also, check out the Gnome Schooling tutorials for all sorts of important tips and help with your gnoming needs!
Love Gnathan's hat so much you want your own? I designed two versions for human heads as well! Find Anne of Green Cables Hats here.
