Our Featured Artist For October Is.....Beautanicals!
What is your name? Hélène Fontaine Taylor
Where do you live (state)? I live in Gig Harbor, Washington but I am a Canadian originally from Victoria, British Columbia
Do you work outside the home? Yes
If so, doing what? I am a junior high school teacher of students with behavioral issues and learning disabilities in math, reading and written language.
Are you married? Yes
Do you have any children? All girls – 13, 11 and 3
What is the name of your Etsy shop? Beautanicals
How long have you been open? Since January 31, 2010
What do you make? I make mini cards, greeting cards, gift tags, photographic images of nature and architectural elements and I have recently started making framed chalkboards which appear to be becoming the focus of my shop.
How long have you been crafting or making things? Ever since I can remember. My dad had a strong interest in photography and I followed him around which gave me a foundation in the creative process and the passion for expressing myself in this manner.
How did you get started? I was always encouraged to be creative and to be intentional in carving out time for creativity.
What prompted you to start selling your creations? I have been selling my photography for several years and a friend of mine told me about Etsy.
What do you enjoy most about creating? I find it very rewarding to get hold of a creative idea, problem solve about how you are going to accomplish your vision, and then the satisfaction of a finished product. It is relaxing and rewarding especially when someone else thinks my items are good enough to welcome into their life.

Autumn Leaves- Our Angel policy states, If using stamps, please hand-stamp each project individually. No mechanical reproduction of any sort is allowed. No scanning, no photocopying, no printing of items for resale or use. You must use the original item. Use of our products need to be pieces that are individually hand made, sold regionally and not nationally, and not printed on a press. They can’t be mass-produced or sold nationally, but if these guidelines are followed there is no problem with cards or other items being made and sold for resale. The policy applies to limited production; local artists only. We will take legal action if we see a violation.
