"I have a tiny house with a frog's garden under a huge pine tree and I wouldn't trade it for a castle," she said.

Her tools, created by her friend Carie of Kelby-Carie, are just as special as her home.

"They are so special to me! Trollflings are incredibly small and fragile, but I create them to last. The ears give me a pain sometimes, and of course making sure their little wings are straight!"

Tiny things have always suited her best - particularly if they came attached to big eyes and silly hair.

"I have always been fascinated by miniatures. I consider myself a troll miniaturist, but generally a fantasy artist. I have loved trolls since I had them as a child. There is just something about their sweet faces, silly hair, big feet and even bigger hearts. I just generally make whatever I love, as long as it is small and from my imagination.
