Vendor Biography

My dad told me how once he got lost in the forest and spent a whole week with little people with shaggy legs. Since then, I like to walk in the forest, hoping that I will be lucky enough to find a small village.

My mother told me that a fairy-tale fairy lives in our house. The fairy left me sweets in different places: on the shelf, under the bed, behind the wardrobe. That’s how I learned to dust.

My grandfather gave me tiny shoes for my birthday, which, according to him, was lost by an absent-minded dwarf who was running away from his grandfather. I still believe in Santa Claus and make a wish for the new year. Now I do such things with my daughter and she also believes in a fairy tale.

I grew up a long time ago and became an engineer, but I was an artist from birth. The teacher exhibited my drawings at school and all the children could watch the life of fairy-tale little men. I recently studied to become a graphic designer. I learned that I can make dolls 3 years ago. I haven’t been able to stop since then.

I make fairy-tale creatures and have no idea how they are born in my head. They can be cheerful, mischievous, sleepy and thoughtful. Looking at them, you can rejoice again and again, this is a real work of art!

I treat my work with love and put my soul into each of my creations. My occupation makes me happy, let this feeling of happiness be transmitted to you. I want everyone to be happy! They say that talent is a hole through which God looks at us.
