An artist makes incredible realistic dolls' house-sized miniature film sets - including Friends, Harry Potter and Jurassic Park. <br /><br />Bridget McCarty, 37, creates miniature film sets – but they're so detailed you wouldn’t even know they were fake. <br /><br />Her works include iconic scenes from Jurassic Park, Friends, and Harry Potter and can take up to a MONTH each to build – but the outcomes are astounding. <br /><br />Bridget, from Los Angeles, California, US, says it started as a hobby – but it became her full-time job when people started queueing up demanding to buy her pieces.<br /><br />She said: "Creating miniatures can really take you away to another world.<br /><br />"My ideas can be found everywhere - from my favorite TV shows to theme parks.<br /><br />"They can be made from anything you can imagine.<br /><br />"I love having a finished piece and knowing I used my best skills to create it."<br /><br />Bridget told how she was inspired by her grandmother, who used to collect miniature items whenever she traveled and would store them on shelves.<br /><br />But as a child, Bridget was never allowed to touch the delicate items - which made her more and more curious.<br /><br />She said: "Knowing I couldn't touch them made me more obsessed with them."<br /><br />As she grew up, she began to create miniature pieces of her own as a hobby alongside studying in school.<br /><br />But when she started visiting conventions and set up a small online shop, people were fascinated - and demand for her tiny scenes meant it soon became a full-time job.<br /><br />Bridget, who is also trained in animation art, said: "Other artists bought a lot of my pieces and motivated me to keep it up."<br /><br />Her pieces are doll-house-sized rooms made room wooden boxes - with dimensions of 50cm or less - and depict film sets.<br /><br />She creates the incredible sets from "anything you can imagine" you can imagine after fitting tiny electrical wiring to light the rooms up.<br /><br />She said: "Sometimes, you can go to the craft store and your mind will be blown by ideas."<br /><br />Her tiny sets take up to a month for one project - or even longer if she juggles several at once.<br /><br />Some of her most recognizable pieces include iconic scenes from well-known films and TV shows - including Monica's flat in Friends, and Flourish and Blotts bookshop from Harry Potter.<br /><br />She has even made a tiny but incredibly detailed version of Big Bang Theory's Comic Centre of Pasadena.<br /><br />Bridget's inspiration most commonly comes from her favorite TV shows as well as theme parks and attractions she visits.<br /><br />And she has no plans to stop - with her tiny scenes and other tin<br />y items becoming more and more popular.<br /><br />She said: "I love having a finished piece and knowing I used my best skills to create it.<br /><br />"I know the scale is correct.<br /><br />"Followers love to see photos of my work.<br /><br />"It can really take you away to another world and inspire many more people."
