Featured Shop: Frogitta Cards, Prints & Invitations

Frogitta is home to illustrations, cards and gifts that I just thought were adorable so I asked Olga some questions about herself for this week's featured artist. Enjoy!

What got started making handmade items?
I always loved creating things and I experimented a lot with different materials. More than anything I loved drawing. But I never paid attention to it - I felt, it was just a hobby. So I went on to study economics and IT, without ever thinking of drawing as an option. But I continued making handmade presents for my friends.

What got you to open your shop on easy?
In the last years my office job made me look for something that inspires me in life. And I was looking for ways to express myself, so one day I read about etsy. I created an account out of curiosity & closed the page. For the next 6 months or so I was battling my fear. I was afraid, that nothing will come out of it and I will just get disappointed. In January 2014 just before my birthday I decided to try and here I am.

Tips for other etsy artists?
It is really a typical advice - just don't be afraid and don't give up, just keep on trying. Look, today my friends and colleagues know that I love drawing-they got to know a new side of me and this is wonderful and there is nothing to regret.
