Feature Satuday AnBlathPaipeir on Etsy

Today we are featuring Becki Owner of AnBlathPaipeir on Etsy.  Please visit her shop to see all her pretty and amazing items!


First Name: Becki

Name of Shop:  An Bláth Páipéir ("uh BLAH paa-perh") - Means The Paper Flower in Irish

Url of shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/AnBlathPaipeir

Who runs the shop?  Why, I do.

What do you sell?  Recycled Eco Friendly Recycled paper flowers

What made you decide to sell handmade?  I have always loved working with my hands. This one is not my first shop. I started out with beaded jewelry. I still have the shop, but it is a rough market on etsy. I enjoy what I do, and I feel great that I can help the environment, and make a small chunk of change for my family in the process.

What exactly goes into developing your product (s)?
Mostly...Time...My flowers are unique in their assembly, and in their creation. Each has its own personality, and shape. They take about an hour to make. If you look at the picture, you can visualize each sheet of paper, singly its own place in the symmetry of the flower. And each one is placed individually.

What are some challenges in running your own shop?
Again, Time. I am a full time stay at home mom running a house hold of seven. I am a full time writer working on publishing my first novel, AND a full time business woman. I juggle a great deal of things in my daily life.

Anything rewarding about what you sell?  How it may affect others who use it?

Did you take any classes? Not presently. But I plan to take a few creative writing classes very soon. I have considered teaching a few classes as well.

What are your favorite materials?  For the flowers anything paper! I have tried nearly every type of paper.

Do you have another website besides etsy? I have a blog! http://beckisdesigns.blogspot.com/

Any goals for the rest of the year?  I am hoping to get to some shows this summer, replenish my stock, and reach 30 sales!

What advice would you give to someone just starting out?  Whooo...thats a big question. All I can say is don't give up.

Incredibly enough, I came upon the idea for these flowers in a dream. As far as I have searched, I am the only one with flowers like these.

Made from recycled printer paper, spray painted pink, and sealed with an acrylic sealer.

3/4 inch Star flower Ring.

Baby Blue  Crocheted Blanket
Custom orders welcome - what colors would you like?


Soft shades of blue, accented with crisp white and a touch of lavender, make this a comfy blanket for any baby. It is made using the same color-block method as in my signature afghans and throws.

I use a favorite stitch pattern that produces a light, almost fluffy texture, reminiscent of your favorite thermal jammies. And just like the thermals, it will keep baby warm without weight.

Best of all, the worsted-weight acrylic yarn is hypoallergenic, washable, colorfast, and durable. The care couldn't be easier: Machine wash and dry.
Dimensions are approximately 28" wide by 29.5" long. That's about 71 cm by 75 cm in metric.

Etsy's got the blues for September!

Smell the pretty flowers!

I've had this passion for making briolette flowers because they are just gorgeous! I've been working on combinations of colors and sizes. So far my favorite is the blue one (Dodecanese) and Amethyst. I just love purple and I mean purple anything! My obsession goes so far, that my walls are purple. Light purple walls I'm not that crazy? So please show some love and check out my creations.

I love flowers so naturally I couldn't resist making a pendant out of one! This one is beautiful with six amethyst briolettes wire wrapped with silver wire. In the middle are five wire wrapped purple (ab) swarovski beads. I used some goldtone wire for a different look. On top of that is a swarovski crystal clear faceted bead. The wire used to make the bail is silver artistic wire. The chain is measures about 24 inches in length. The pendant is about 2 inches in lenth.

I love flowers so naturally I couldn't resist making a pendant out of one! This one is beautifully wire wrapped with pearlescent round beads. In between the round beads are beautiful blue blossoms on top and all around the pendant. I used silver artistic wire for the bottom beads. In the middle displays three nugget pacific blue colored beads wire wrapped with goldtone wire. The wire used to make the bail is silver artistic wire. The chain is measures about 24 inches in length. The pendant is about 2-2 1/2 inches in lenth.
