- Tell me a bit about yourself
Hi, my name is Silja and I live in a little country called Estonia (Europe). I try to keep it short, noone reads long posts, do they? Why are you all so busy? Go take a walk!
- What is the name of your Shop?
It is 5Erg. I should think of something more catchy, my signature looks like a barcode!
- Please describe your creative process
My three types of activities at my desk are – needle felting, making jewelry and painting/drawing.
Even when I wake up 6AM my creative part of the brain doesn’t wake up before 6PM. Best hours are between 12-4AM. I don’t know why it is so. Maybe because it is so quiet and nice at night.
I love listening to music in background, but I paint MUCH worse when there is music so I try to work in total silence. It goes only for painting and such.
- Where do your ideas come from?
When I am busy at school or work I get a lot of ideas. So the fact that I am in harness makes me think of all the things I can’t do at the moment:) But I do write those ideas down for later use.
Also people inspire me. When I walk alone I notice all kinds of people. When I look at someone I get these images in my head about different situations where the person has been or where she/he is going to be. So for example, a wild looking person can inspire me to make leopard dotted jewelry.
- How did you get into your craft?
I just found them on the Internet. I mean needle felting and beads. And everybody draws when they are kids I just never got rid of that habit.
- Apart from creating things, what do you do?
It is my second year at the University, I take 50%-50% Chemistry and Biology classes. I could and should spend more time on that too I guess. But I don’t.
- How do you promote your work?
Projectwonderful, Linkreferral, my Blog. I must think of a strategy. Then I could make all of this promotion thing work for me better. At the moment I just try to make some random people see my shop with an ad here and there and a comment here and there.

About Emma
I think that the creativity is a gift that has to have its own freedom, the designs of my jewelry reflect my feelings and emotions, I always try to be dedicated in which I do up to being capable of saying that it is finished and therefore that it is possible to put in exhibition. I'm inspired with the colors of the nature mixed with the feelings and emotions that evoke me.
