The first character in the series, "Arnold" is the leader of his clan of the Cannagnomes. He is completely hand made. First sculpted in clay, then the mold and mother molds are made. He is then hand cast in solid polyresin, primed, hand painted, and finally given a clear UV protective seal coat. He stands 14in tall, and comes numbered and signed. This item will ship with the shovel hand unattached, and wrapped separately to keep from damage during shipping. A few drops of epoxy or super glue will secure the piece to the sculpture. No, he's not cheap...but he wasn't made in China, either. 100% hand made in northern California. 100% USA sourced materials.
