So kids... Lemme tell you a tale....
I have been looking for this weird lookin' fella for a number of years.
Many... Many... Years.
I had no idea what it was called. And the search was nearly mind breaking.
"Old Man made of Forest" on the Google gives you every weird Old nature dude thing on the planet.
Except this sneaky fella.
Tumblr media
Why?
Because he is not an "Old Man",
He is a "Troll"
and a particular one at that.
Some more back story.
I first saw some of these weird fellas growing up in Vegas in my Grandmother's and my Great Aunt's Houses. I was always fascinated by them. They are completely made of items found in the woods. The body, a small log. Dried cranberries for eyes. Etc...
One day years ago I suddenly remembered the weird looking creature made of the woods from my childhood.
I called my Grandmother and asked her what it was called. She knew exactly what I was talking about but had no dang clue what they were called. She told me their sister, my other great aunt, in Florida had bought them for my Grandmother and their other sister.
So last weekend, at this wonderful antique and oddities store called Good As New that we always find strange treasures at.
I finally saw him.
I told Sheri that, "This fella looks like that forest creature I have been looking for.."
And then did a double take and said,
"I think it is!!!"
I quickly took a pic and sent it to my Mom and called her immediately. She confirmed that yes, indeed, this was the creature I had been looking for!!!
You think I'd won the lottery.
I was so loud and happy in this very quiet store.
So, now he is mine, and I know who he is and where he came from. He was birthed from the woods of Tennessee, handmaid by a family business that has been making them for many years. And...
He is a troll.
And he is now "My" Troll.
Here is a smidgen of info copied and pasted by Yours Truly.
Knud "Ken" Arensbak (1923–1997) was a Danish-born lithographer and artist who, along with his wife Neta (born Agnete), is best known for making fanciful handcrafted figures of trolls in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, United States. The family still operates 5 Arts Studio, which makes and sells Arensbak trolls to collectors all over the world.

so i went on vacation recently and during the trip i discovered this funky little pals!! theyre called Trolls (though they also have Gnomes and Troll Pets available!) and are each handmade by Ken Arensbak and his family to be sold in shops and online!!
they reminded me so much of custom furbies with their general shape / silly and/or gorgeous designs / overall love and care put into each and every one ngl, as well as their general lore / personalities / etc!!! :,D
the photos are just a few examples, the online shop + physical shops that sell them have so many more, plus you can even order a 100% custom troll online if u want!!
but ye, overall just wanted to share in case anyone else finds themselves falling in love with em just like i did! :,) 💕
( u can order em or just read more about them n etc at www.trolls.com ! )
