About the Person behind

 Hi there! :) I’m glad you found this little corner of the internet. Allow me to introduce myself:

My name is Christinna, I live in northern Denmark with my partner Daniel and our two children, Amelia and Storm. I love autumn and thunderstorms and hot cocoa and ghosts and pretty trinkets and that certain smell that’s in the air on crisp mornings - everything that has a little dash of magic to it ;)

My artistic journey started, as is usually the case I think, when I was a very young child. I loved drawing! And I’ve always been drawn towards things a little bit (or maybe a lot) outside of the mundane daily experiences of life. I loved drawing vampire girls, fairies, and Wolfriders from my dad's collection of ElfQuest comics. Every daydream I’ve ever had has also taken place in worlds far more fantastical than our own (seemingly is?). I grew up wishing I was a princess and absolutely adoring beautiful dresses, then wishing I was a witch and reading books about monsters and witchcraft and ghosts. I’ve always been very fascinated with magic and folklore. When I was a kid we had two nisser living with us every December, called Mug & Skimmel (Danish: Mold & Mildew). Funnily enough, now that I'm an adult and have kids of my own, those two little rascals have moved in with us again, and they cause all sorts of mischief that can only be quelled with treats or porridge - to the gleeful delight of Amelia and Storm :)  

One of the reasons I loved drawing so much I think has to do with the fact that I have a chronic illness called Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. It basically means that normal tasks - or certain ways of play when I was a kid, like running and jumping around - became painful quite quickly. So I favoured sitting at my desk and dreaming up stories and characters instead.

As I’ve gotten older my illness has gotten worse, and though drawing was always my first love I have had to put that on pause for a while because the small motions and fine motor skills needed to draw trigger my illness and bring on weeks of burning joints and a foul mood! Fortunately, I have discovered sculpting instead, and though I miss drawing from time to time, sculpting brings me so much joy!

The feeling of creating something from nothing is amazing! I love the idea of making something -exist- that didn’t before! And with creating my art dolls I can incorporate all kinds of creative pursuits - like painting, sewing, needlefelting, miniature prop making, and wig making.
