"KILMER"(RETIRED)

Tom Clark Gnome - Kilmer

Named for Joyce Kilmer, the poet who wrote "Trees," my Kilmer is performing the ritual of planting an acorn at a child's birth, commemorating the new life. Behind him is an old tree that has died, planted at the birth of his own father. His father's name is Wash, as was my grandfather's. The name is carved in the tree in "Runic", the language used by Gnomes and Woodspirits on important occasions. If you are a kindred spirit of the little people, then you will be able to see the grandfather's face on the tree. Early editions have a German coin which depicts a lady similarly planting a tree. On later editions a 1928 penny was placed on top of the first coin, for the year the artist was born.
