If you are looking for gadgets and gizmos sprawled across Hanna's workspace you will be very disappointed.

"A pasta machine and a razor blade. I don't think you need much more than that."

Plus one more 'can't live without' item sits on her worktable.

"I love my soft pastel colors from Faber Castell, they are wonderful to work with when, for example, you are trying to make the surface on breads looking baked."

Like many collectors and artisans, the world of miniatures fascinates us from an early age, forming a bond that lasts a lifetime. Hanna is no exception, and you can tell that, from an early age, the "miniature bug" bit her. Even as she tells of her first encounter with miniatures, you can see the seeds of a craftsman being sown.
