Yesterday was Gnoming Day in Durham!
Over 120 Cork Gnomes hit the streets and parks of Durham, NC, yesterday, thanks the devious plotting and maniacal knitting of the Durham String Thing.
The little cuties found new homes in the toes of an enormous metal camel sculpture, nestled in the bells of beautiful spring tulips, cuddled up against an enormous houka pipe on Ninth Street, leaning against the gothic spirals of the Duke Chapel and hiding inside parking meters, among many other locations. One even flew into the open car window of a passing car and was caught by a lucky, suspiciously festive young Durham man.
Updates of their adventures can be found at their official site http://corkgnome.tumblr.com/
For now, here is a fantastic composite created by the amazing Kay (a.k.a. “little red”) featuring the adventures of Katherine, Kay and myself as we found new homes for some of the little gnomes. Click on the image to see it better.
(I’m the dark haired one in black making a lot of crazy faces.)
