How did you get into creating unique art prints, whimsical illustrations and paper mache artwork?
During lockdown I did not have any gigs to play and I was furloughed from my day job. So I have started illustrating a lot more and opened my little Art Shop on Etsy. It is something I always wanted to do but never had the time to.
Why do you think it’s important to support small businesses?
To foster creativity and love, we need a lot of both in this world.
What do you think makes a great gift?
Something that is bespoke, personal and has a great story to tell.
What are your top tips for finding the right gift for someone?
Getting the gift from a small business will tick all the boxes: unique, bespoke, personal and made with love!
What are your recommendations for favourite places to buy gifts?
I buy gifts on Etsy all the time. I love the care that people put into their creations, everything from the way is wrapped to a lovely handwritten note… to the object itself!
What is the best gift you have ever received?
I have recently received a hand-made candle which I love… it smells amazing and it was made by a lovely lady here in London. I like receiving things that are handmade and have a story!

One of the things I love most about Bity’ shop, is the originality, thoughtfulness and creativity that you can see in everything she makes. I have bought a few things from Bity now, one of my favs was a turtle paper mache fridge magnet, such a lovely thing to have at home. Something that is even lovelier knowing that it has been handmade with love by a small business owner, creating things that bring them joy which rubs off on the people that buy them.
