Bic Beaumont Art What is your favourite medium to work with? I can't choose between lino or painting, I need them both! Why did you start your Etsy shop? I was looking to be part of something, a community, meet local fellow creatives and I personally love shopping on Etsy, so it seemed perfect. Where are your items made? In a tiny room, which seems to be getting smaller, on hand me down bits of furniture but it is my space and I love it. What is your favourite Christmas treat? Hot chocolate, oat milk, vegan marshmallows What does everyone need to know about Bic Beaumont Art? When I'm painting my animal characters, their names come to me towards the end, when the piece is almost finished and I just sit with it, hanging up, drying in between stages and I will have whittled the names down to a couple and will see what it 'responds' to best - sounds a little out there but I love the process.

Paper Ink Alchemy Shop

Where do you make you items? I work from my home studio in rural Worcestershire. But the great thing about what I do is that I am able to take it with me, so sometimes things are made on beaches,or in coffee shops. What is your favourite medium to work with? As my shop name suggests Paper and Ink (well stretch that to include paint) are the main mediums I work with. In summer when it’s too warm for delicate papercuts you’ll find me doing more painting. In winter it’s a little bit of everything! What is you favourite Christmas treat? I love christmas, from October onwards pretty much everything I make is made with Christmas films or music in the background, a black forest hot chocolate on the go and maybe a slice of stollen for good measure. What does everyone need to know about Paper Ink Alchemy? Everything is designed and made by hand by me, so you won’t find my designs anywhere else, but also... everything can be personalised and made bespoke upon request.

I have a dedicated little corner, although it's getting pretty full now so I may have to take over another room! What is you favourite part of being an Etsy seller? Receiving lovely customer reviews for your products is definitely my favourite part of being an Etsy seller. Etsy is so straightforward to use and its great how easy it is to introduce your customers to new products. Why did you start your Etsy shop? Long story short, after having my second child I decided to be a full time mum and started my little business as a way to keep creating. I'm so glad I'm able to do something I love everyday and it means i can be there at sports days and school plays! What’s your favourite Christmas treat? Ooh I love Christmas so much! My favourite treat is definitely a Bailey's hot chocolate! Yum!

Fussy Geek Wares Shop

What is your favourite medium to work with? I like creating designs in vector graphics as they are scalable and so useful to use again for future products.

I really enjoy the challenge and it's great when it pays off and they are happy. Where do you make your items?

Obviously as a silversmith it’s silver, but I also love finding beach treasure, pebbles and sea-glass and incorporating that into my work… I’m always looking down on the beach!

What is your favourite medium to work with? I love working with fabrics, wool and felt. They're versatile and you can create some really cute things with not a lot. What is your favourite part of being an Etsy seller? I absolutely love helping my customers with commission designs - it's such a wonderful feeling when someone comes to me with an idea for a custom piece and we work together to make it a perfect reality. Why did you start your Etsy shop? It all started with embroidery - I made a little birth keepsake for my nephew and just kept designing from there! It's now evolved into a few different areas because I just can't stick to one craft!

I'll always love a snowball (the alcoholic drink kind), I've only even known what they are for a couple of years and they're now a firm favourite of a Christmas Eve for me now!

Nina Louise Art & Illustration What is your favourite medium to work with? My digital pen. It really is magical. I have every paintbrush, pencil, pen and every type of paint and colour in one pen. Where are your items made? I work in lots of different spaces. Drawing and painting normally happens somewhere very comfortable with a good cuppa and often my dog cuddled up to me... I have a home office where my giclee printer (a specialist fine art printer) lives which means I can print art prints to order. What does everyone need to know about you? I do love to give the animals in my illustrations their own character. I like to imagine what's going through their head when I'm drawing them. I love eclectic interiors and have been filling my house with nature inspired prints and treasures for many years, lots of which I've purchased on Etsy. So it felt like a great place to share my nature inspired art and hopefully some of it will find it's way to some fellow nature lovers homes. What is your favourite Christmas treat? New pyjamas, a good nature book and a box of handmade chocolates. xx

I started making children's clothes and thought I would try and sell a few items....here I am now with a fantastic little handmade business. What does everyone need to know about Lena’s Yard I started with only remnant fabrics and so my designs were limited and really unique as I never knew what fabric I would lay my hands on. As I was using remnant fabric I was able to to sell stand out patterns whilst really keeping costs down. This remains really important to me and I try and make my clothing affordable and accessible, conscious of the desire to dress a child well but the reality of the cost and turnover of clothes. As Lena’s Yard has grown and become more established I have grown into a second range whilst maintaining my range of clothing using remnant fabrics. Lena’s Yard Little Cotton Range features beautiful designs from amazing independent artists, which are exclusive. Both ranges are available via my Etsy Store and equally as important to me!
