Merrijo and George talked with me a little about their Etsy shop and shared a few things with me about themselves and their creations:
Merrijo is a former first grade teacher with a crazy sense of humor. Her imagination works, she says, “In the zip code of way too much.” She has worked in a lot of different artistic mediums, and is still not sure, on any given day, which medium is her favorite. “What I do know for sure,” says Merrijo, “is that the creative process is a journey that continues to astound me.”

“We are open to discussing any special requests you might have,” Merrijo added. “We will do all we can to meet your request, if it is within our abilities.” They can be contacted through their shop at www.Absurdious.etsy.com.

I love the Story Chair which is listed at
http://www.etsy.com/listing/59586783/story-chair-print-of-original-drawing
The reason that I love this is that I am a school librarian and it reminds me of my years that I spent reading to school children. I think that this picture would brighten up my days with fond memories.
My favorite is the Mystery Chair!
