Dear Ones,

Here are the slider and the images for the first in the photo series “Tiny Anthologies: Gnome Homes.”

These are some photos of mine that I fancifully call ‘gnome homes’. The first four are standard ‘root gnome’ homes. Then there are three photos of ‘fern gnome’ homes.

Gnomes like dark places; that is clear.

SLIDER

This slider is a preview of the images on this page, and ought not be published on its own, as the slider images lack captions.

And now, let’s go on to explore the images in this first page of the photo series: Gnome Homes …

The Gnomes and Trolls of John Bauer . by Alice B. Clagett

Leave a reply

Written and published on 12 May 2022
Location: San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California

  • ARE THESE GNOMES?
  • THE HICCUP: IS THIS A TROLL?
  • CONCLUSION

Dear Ones,

Here are some of the nature spirits painted by John Bauer. I like his illustrations very much!  There is a hiccup which I will discuss below. At any rate, here are what seem to me to be quite good representations of gnomes and a changeling …

ARE THESE GNOMES?

Image: “Root Trolls,” by John Bauer, 1917, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rottrollen_-_John_Bauer_1917.jpg … public domain

THE HICCUP: IS THIS A TROLL?

From the size and bearing of the nature spirits shown above, it seems to me the John Bauer painted there what I call ‘gnomes’. Yet the painter calls them ‘trolls’.

I do see what I call ‘trolls’ in other paintings produced by John Bauer. These look rather like the nature spirits shown below, but are much larger … which are a good deal taller than a young man would be. Here is one such illustration of what I might call a ‘troll’ …

Image: “Here is a piece of a troll herb which nobody else can find,” by John Farmer, 1912, in Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:H%C3%A4r_ska_du_f%C3%A5_en_bit_av_en_troll%C3%B6rt,_som_ingen_mer_%C3%A4n_jag_kan_leta_r%C3%A4tt_p%C3%A5.jpg … public domain … DESCRIPTION: This is an illustration for “The Boy Who Was Never Afraid” by Alfred Smedberg, produced by John Bauer for “Among Gnomes and Trolls.”

CONCLUSION

From this I gather it may be that there is a relationship between gnomes and trolls, much in the way there is a relationship between the Lesser Dwarves and the Greater Dwarves.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Dear Ones,

PIXIES IN THE WOODS

This video is just for fun, as the gentleman is in animatronics …

Video: “Some Pixies Show Up in the Woods,” by Erwin Saunders, 31 March 2022 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQaObhP-x08 ..

Still, it is quite a bit of fun, and it is nice that the gentleman is introducing people to the world of nature spirits.
