Runestones to a memory

As you all recall, [profile] americanstd's mom died in September. He's been missing her a lot, so I offered to get one of her gnome figures and paint her name in runes on it as a monument to her.

When I was up at Los Alamitos last week, I looked through her gnome collection. Most of them were silly: gnomes riding snails or being overly cute. Then I found this one:

Odin gnome

He has gravitas. In fact, he reminded me a lot of Odin. I took him home and cleaned him up. If you notice, the statue has closed eyes. I have remedied that:

Photobucket

I decided against putting runes on his hat. Instead, this statue of the Allfather now gazes down upon us from a shelf in our kitchen.

Steve's mom is now getting the last laugh. We have one of her gnomes and I'm not trying to ship it off to Iraq.
