Story Card Included
Retired 2004

A Cairn Studio, artwork of Tom Clark's Gnome collection. This professor of wizardry appears to be waiting for students to answer one of her many questions. Perhaps the question is historical ("What were Merlin's duties in King Arthur's court?") or maybe chemical ("What effect does the addition of bat wings have on "Toad Toes' Soup?"). She is a confident teacher, dressed in an academic robe of emerald green and she can more than hold her won with her male counterparts, like Professor Wizard. Still, she has a feminine side as you can see from her showy hair bow and her delicate starfish earrings. Her facial lines indicate that she smiles a lot, so she must have a good sense of humor. Isn't she the one who first made pigs fly and shrimp whistle?! As you can see from her robe, Dr. Gonnagal's back is warmed by the sun and the stars and moons are near her hands. She believes in glorifying the heavens and their Creator. Real magic is obtained not by aligning the planets according to your birthday, but by aligning your heart to the purposes of a higher being. Dr. Gonnagal wisely guides her students to an appreciation of the sweet mysteries of life. Her Turkish coin from 1956 shows the moon and the stars and was her inspiration for her robe ornamentation. The Gnome measures 12 1/2" tall 8" in the diameter at the base. It is in excellent condition and comes from a store that is no longer carrying a display of Gnomes. Also there is no Certificate of Authenticity for Cairn Studio Ltd.
