Clay sculpting allowed Dr. Clark to travel around the world and provide special pieces to home collectors. Inspired by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gnomes_(book)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1976 book \u201cGnomes\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;by Will Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, Clark based his gnomes on the drawings in the book which led to his rise in fame. Soon after, he began to sculpt other creatures and named them \u201cwoodspirits\u201d. These creatures were often inspired by people the artists saw around his school campus, and gave them a fictional background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of gnomes made by Tom Clark:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Ace of Spades &#8211; Mint (Retired, 1991)<\/li><li>Allie &#8211; Mint (Retired, 1996)<\/li><li>Aloe &#8211; Mint (Retired, 1995)<\/li><li>ANAHEIM &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 3\/31\/91)<\/li><li>ANDREW (RETIRED,1998)<\/li><li>ANDY HAPPY NEW YEAR (RETIRED,1997)<\/li><li>AUNTIE PENNY &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1994)<\/li><li>AVA (RETIRED,1996)<\/li><li>BARNEY &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 2000) &#8211; SIGNED<\/li><li>BART &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 1985)<\/li><li>BARTHOLOMEW &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 1996)<\/li><li>BEN &#8211; MIB (RETIRED, 1993) &#8211; SIGNED<\/li><li>BLACKIE &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 1992)<\/li><li>BLARNEY &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 1988)<\/li><li>BOO! &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 1994)<\/li><li>BOOTS &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 1988)<\/li><li>BROTHER, SIS, AND DAD &#8211; MINT (RETIRED, 1993)<\/li><li>BUBBA &#8211; MINT &#8211; SIGNED (RETIRED,1994)<\/li><li>BUBBLES &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1992)<\/li><li>BUNNY HUG &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1997)<\/li><li>BUTCH, WICK, BISCUIT &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1992)<\/li><li>CAB &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1995) &#8211; SIGNED<\/li><li>CAESAR &#8211; MIB (RETIRED,1997)<\/li><li>CAIRN CHRISTMAS 1995 &#8211; MIB (RETIRED,1997)<\/li><li>CAIRN CHRISTMAS 1999 &#8211; MIB (RETIRED,2000)<\/li><li>CARDINAL &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1993)<\/li><li>CARL &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1999)<\/li><li>CHEF &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1988)<\/li><li>CHIEF &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1994)<\/li><li>CHUBBY &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1994) &#8211; SIGNED<\/li><li>CLAMENTINE &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1992)<\/li><li>CLAUDE &#8211; MINT &#8211; SIGNED (RETIRED,1995)<\/li><li>COASTIE &#8211; MINT &#8211; SIGNED (RETIRED,1995)<\/li><li>COLLEEN &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1996)<\/li><li>COUCH POTATOE &#8211; MINT (RETIRED,1998)<\/li><li>CRIS.
