Blog Giveaway from Etsy Featured Seller: Meet Silja of 5erg.etsy.com

Meet Silja of 5erg.etsy.com, a very talented artist indeed!

How did you get interested in what you create?
Someone left me in a room with paper and a pencil. What was wrong with them? I am struggling with my drawing habit ever since :)

What is the last book you read?
I have one in the half way. It is a historical novel about a man who escaped a train to prison camp in the World War 2.
It is "Metsõun" by Arnold Õun.

If we looked in your refrigerator right now, what would we see?
Margarine, 3 eggs, jar of cranberries and salmon. It looks like not much in our house is here to pile up in the fridge. Hm.

What is your favorite quote?
I can't say it here! Maybe I can. No I can't. Well, it is from a comedy called Orgazmo and it involves unicorns.
I also love Cartman and Dwight Schrute quotes.



--------------------------------------------------

Silja is so talented, it is difficult to pick just 2 items. I would have to go with the "YIN and YANG greeting card" for it's simple beauty and "Felt Cow Sussu" for fun.

Luck Happens said...

Ahoy Matey,

The Creamy Glass Pearls with Pink Quartz memory wire bracelet is a mermaid's dream, very pretty and pearly and would match swimmingly with her aqua tail and scales, and long flowing red hair! Aye, aye, it's a treasure!...Love the "mermaid's eye" cards also, that's what they seem to me!

Unknown said...

My two favorites would have to be the City bird original pencil aceo and the jellyfish 3 original aceo. All her pieces have tremendous character!
