Hello, I am Sandy Knijf and I live in the Netherlands. From an early age, I loved fairy tales and all kinds of fantasy. When the world makes no sense to me, I like to escape into my funny little fantasy worlds.
I collect old unwanted stuff and love to use natural materials. With every picture, I will tell you a little bit about them.
I love spreading creative sparks in people and I hope that some of them will make you smile.
Of course, if you don’t like fantasy and a bit of weirdness, just skip me.
