Tall Grass Lodge
Tall Grass Lodge
By Andra Chase
In this gnome home, the tree stump and grasses flowing from the top form a simple and elegant conical shape. When lit, the grass glows like a halo. Adorned with pheasant feathers, the home has the feeling of a Native headdress or the costumes worn by the “Mardi Gras Indians” in Andra’s hometown of New Orleans. Andra likes to think of gnomes gathering the feathers in the forest, working with the birds and animals and taking care of them. The shape of the log creates a perfect entrance for the gnomes, and the door and the mirror fit naturally. Andra has been working on and refreshing this piece for the past three years. Previously, other artists have worked on it, too. It has transformed many times over the years.
