I'm sure we all remember the scary trolls from fairy tales, but this year I got to see some man made trolls up close. Thomas Dambo, an artist/designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark created a bevy of trolls at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois. These larger than life wooden sculptures were a treat for adults and children alike. There was even a troll camp with huge tools, a shelter, a giant pot, and suspended traps which everyone had fun climbing under.
Yes, my husband talked me into this photo. There was no back on the pot (so no, I didn't have to climb over the side).
I didn't get to see them being created (I think there were days when one could watch the artist at work), here's a video that shows some of what happened.
