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.

I Collect Old Books, The More Damage, The Better!

I Collect Old Books, The More Damage, The Better!

I feel horrible if they get thrown away, so I make sculptures from them. Like a story coming to life... literally.

    The Base Is An Old Clock (That Doesn't Work Anymore, But Every Part Is Being Re-Used)

    I always have trouble with Timebandits (maybe you've met them?) They bring mayhem, and chaos and they love messing with time. Absolutely not your fault if you are being late again, you just have Timebandits around!

    They are considered very old-fashioned and people don't want them anymore. But you can do amazing things with alcohol ink on it, still have a lamp but with a fairy castle.
