Of course, they need not be confined to the garden. They’d make perfect [yoga companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vipassa) and they won’t disturb you while you [meditate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-heirloom). OMs are the handiwork of Oregon artist, Steve Herrington. Herrington has quite a lot of Gnome lore on his MySpace page. They’re available for purchase from [Simple Family Living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lawn-maintenance-essentials).
