Why did you start your Etsy shop?
Because I loved painting animals and I had just finished a degree in Textile Design and started printing my paintings onto fabric. I loved the idea of being self employed and selling my designs all over the world!
What’s your favourite medium to work with?
I love to paint in acrylic paints and then print my paintings on velvet.
Where do you make your items?
I make my products in my little home studio in the countryside.
What’s your favourite part of being an Etsy seller?
I love how kind customers are about my work and how much they love animals too. It's so nice when they message to say how much they love a product and how much something means to them.
How did you come up with the name for your Etsy shop?
Because I love animals and particularly the word Whiskers!
Where were you when you made your first sale on Etsy?
I was just at home but super excited to have a sale.
How do you spend your down-time?
I love painting and knitting and hanging out with my little white fluffy dog Oliver.
