Fourth photo in a set of toy photography soap opera shots. All of the toy gnomes from the previous episodes are gathered around a toy desk with the paperwork spread out around them. Mateo, having just entered, is in the spotlight with a bottle of booze next to him. Mateo is a toy gnome with a black pointy hat and outfit. He has a bumpy wide white beard with a pale nose poking out. The toy booze is as big as Mateo is. Digitally imposed over the photo is some confetti around a speech bubble by Mateo that says, 'Let's Party!' I took the photo, set up the tiny scene, wrote the script, and applied minor edits to the photo. I never use AI.

Episode Four of:
"Coming Gnome Again"

Mateo, the other grown child of Stacy and Charles, bursts in (without reading the room), ready to turn this funeral planning sesh into a party!

A photo I took of a 1:12 scale Santa sleigh I made this past week. The sleigh is dark brown with green trim with gold swirls. There are wrapped presents and dark red cushions inside the sleigh. There is a bag with toys spilling out of the back, wrapped in evergreen branches. The sleigh is sitting on snow, and has lots of snow on it.

Zoomed back a bit, in different lighting.

A collage of three photos I took, capturing some stages in the creation of my Santa sleigh. Just cereal cardboard and a few types of glue up top. The middle shows some pieces I made, mostly from clay, and the sleigh covered in foam and bolstered in a variety of materials. The third photo is almost halfway through. The inside is almost done, with the presents made and the cushions in place, with some of the ribbon lining and purple foam attached to the side, ready to be painted. I don't know how interesting this is to anyone, so I'm gonna leave the description here, but am happy to answer any questions about the piece.

If you are curious how it was made, here are a few process photos. The base structure is made of a cereal box, and I added clay, ribbon, plastic, wood, and a variety of other materials to make the final product.

A collage of three photos I took from different angles of a 1:12 scale Santa sleigh I made this past week. The sleigh is dark brown with green trim with gold swirls. There are wrapped presents and dark red cushions inside the sleigh. There is a bag with toys spilling out of the back, wrapped in evergreen branches. The sleigh is sitting on snow, and has lots of snow on it. Check the comments for more on how this was made.

I made a miniature Santa Sleigh for a Christmas Village (approx 1:12 scale) ☺️🎅🎄🛷

A macrophoto of a tiny toy gnome, Charles Booty the Third, chilling amongst the succulents with a toy glass of green bubble tea almost as big as he is. Charles has a pointy red hat, a giant white beard, and pale nose and feet sticking out.

Charles loves boba and chilling

Third photo in a set of toy photography soap opera shots. A setup of toy gnomes. To the right, in the background, Charles (toy gnome with red hat, seated, white beard, exposed pale nose and feet) is on a toy chair at a toy desk. The desk has a pitcher on it and an empty drinking glass. Jamie (toy gnome with orange hat and outfit, standing, white beard, brown hands and nose sticking out) is standing at the other end of the desk by the drinking glass. In the foreground and in the spotlight, Stacy Beard (toy gnome with purple outfit, standing, groomed white mustache that seems to be part beard, with exposed brown nose and hands) is facing the scene with some paperwork (toy books) in front of her. A digitally added speech bubble has Stacy saying "let's get this over with" (referring to the funeral they're planning). I took the photo, set up the tiny scene, wrote the script, and applied minor edits to the photo. I never use AI.

Episode Three of:
"Coming Gnome Again"

Stacy Beard, Charles' ex wife and mother of his children, enters with paperwork.

Second photo in a set of toy photography soap opera shots. Charles Booty the Third, a tiny toy gnome in seated position with a red pointed hat, a white beard, and pale hands, feet, and nose sticking out, is off to the right, facing away from camera at a little toy desk with a little toy pitcher on it. Jamie Booty, a standing toy gnome with an orange hat and outfit, wide bushy white beard, and brown nose and hands visible, is facing Charles and the desk. Jamie is in the spotlight. The digitally added speech bubbles reveal their awkward conversation: Jamie: hi dad Charles: hi sweetie Jamie: its Jamie Charles: sorry sweetie I took the photo, set up the tiny scene, wrote the script, and applied minor edits to the photo.

Episode Two of:
"Coming Gnome Again"

Jamie Booty (enby) enters after not seeing their Dad for years. Awkwardness ensues

First photo in a set of toy photography soap opera shots. Charles Booty the Third, a tiny toy gnome in seated position with a red pointed hat, a white beard, and pale hands, feet, and nose sticking out. He is under a spotlight and is next to a toy desk with a toy pitcher on it. There is a digitally drawn thought bubble by his head that says: "nice day to plan a funeral. hope there's booze." I took the photo, set up the tiny scene, wrote the script, and applied minor edits to the photo. I never use AI.

Episode One of:
"Coming Gnome Again"

Charles Booty III waits for his mostly estranged family to arrive so they can plan his mother's (Lily Booty, wife of the late Charles Booty II) funeral.

This is a photo of a tiny outdoor scene. Mateo the gnome, a mini simple figurine clad in all black with a big white beard and pale hands and nose sticking out from underneath his pointy hat. He is standing on a stone floor, with some plants and forest debris behind him. There are also some string lights behind him.

Meet Mateo. (Just Mateo, he's got the cool 1-name thing going).
Mateo likes parties, napping, and cooking complex dishes.

This is a tiny miniature scene set up outdoors amongst small green plants and other wild debris in the ground in the Pacific Northwest. The props are a tiny bed, side table, and lamp (all simple in beige, grey, and white). There is a miniature brown puppy figurine wearing a red ribbon collar, with floppy ears, and she is looking up at the camera and smiling. This is the newest character from my tiny retinue: Puddles the pup.

I found Puddles the pup making herself at home amongst the plants!

Puddles is entitled, loves being picked up, hates being put down, and will bark for bacon.

And from Middle Earth, I found Samwise Gamgee making his lonely way though the terrain, sadly thinking Frodo is dead, but determined to go on

I am going slowly with this channel, but there is a lot more where that came from! Cute characters, silly scenes, natural and handcrafted settings, and other tiny nonsense. Follow for more ☺️🌱

A tiny, seated gnome figurine, named Charles Booty the Third with pale nose and feet sticking out from a giant white beard and red pointed hat. He is sitting on a forest floor amongst various debris, with a little pale picket fence in the background. Charles is the first character introduced in my tiny travels.

To kick things off, I would like to introduce Charles Booty III. He likes drinking chocolate milk, sitting sullenly, and shouting at the contestants on Love Island.
