From hand-drawn illustrations to hand-sewn dolls, discover original designs crafted from old-fashioned tales.Whimsical and colorful, folk art gnomes are more than just a plastic lawn ornament or a dwarf-like character that resembles one of Snow White's friends.

A tradition in primitive arts, the hand-carved designs of European folk arts would inspire the modern fabric patterns that sewn in the U.S. and other havens for hand-crafted creativity.

The art of the folk art gnome is open to interpretation, with artists designing a range of dwarf-like images. While many details remain the same with most pieces, the patterns are unique in their conception and finished appearance.
