Gnome Painting at Floriade

Floriade 2024 was a very successfuly gnome painting event.

     At the Gnome Knoll we soldl terracotta boy and girl gnomes and our featured item (a snail) and provided paint and brushes for thousands (old and young) to paint their gnomes and snails. Then we lacquered them to stabalise the paint. Many entered the painting competions with great prizes.
