When asked to tell us more about herself, Emina humorously pointed out that she lives in “Georgia, not in the USA, but in a country near Turkey.”

She also shared what initially drew her to the world of artistry.

“I have been involved in various creative activities since early childhood. I drew, sculpted from plasticine, made things from other materials. As a child, I imagined that the world was full of mysterious creatures that were about to emerge from behind a tree in the forest or from a gateway in the city. When I grew up, I realized that I could bring all these creatures to life!”

We were wondering what the most challenging project Emina has worked on so far. 

She wrote: “It is difficult for me to remember something specific. Challenges often arise when it is unclear what to make a particular part of a toy from. Then I just walk around the apartment and look at the surrounding objects, and I always find the right material. It could be an old, unnecessary bank card, an aquarium net, a nut or a nail, etc. - that is, absolutely anything!”

Lastly, Emina added: “I do not repeat toys - each one is a single copy! I sometimes make toys based on previously created ones, but never exactly the same ones (I always change the main color, accessories, etc.)”
