A dollhouse enthusiast creates tiny dishes including takeaways and sushi which are sold to collectors as far away as America - after teaching herself on Youtube.

Roz MacLean, 41, started selling the tiny size meals - no bigger than a 2p coin - in November 2019 after she made one for her mum's dollhouse.

Her designs have thrown up some non-traditional meals including sushi, to fish and chips in a takeaway container, to a full roast dinner.

The pharmacy technician taught herself how to make the minuscule designs four years ago by watching YouTube videos, after having a love for all things miniature. 

She makes the unique items out of polymer clay by molding them into shapes - then using chalk pastels, blades, and even a toothbrush to get the detail - before she puts them in the oven for 30 minutes where they set at home in Inverness.

After uploading the items to Etsy, a website focused on handmade or vintage items, Roz started to get attention for the designs, with people requesting custom designs and has even sold meals to America.

The price of the tiny meals ranges depending on the design and can range from a fiver to £25.
