My son has been going to Karate class for a little over 5 years now and back when he first started one of the Sensei’s was always telling the kids about the Dojo Gnome that lives in the corner plants and how they need to speak so he can hear.  

I decided to make a little gnome to put up there.  

 I had no pattern, just started with a magic circles and made it up as I went.  His body has some rocks in it so he has some weight and won’t fall over.   He is like 5 inches tall (in a seated position).
