I caught site of France's photography by chance while looking through Etsy, and what attracted me was her whimsical nature. A lovely imagination and the skill to make that into a visual. I have shown three pictures here, focussed on Thumbelina. Is there any little girl around who doesn't somewhere deep down in their soul wish they had a tiny little friend, and does that really go when we get older?
