This week's featured Etsy artist is Ashli from factorygirlashli. I had an absolute blast looking through her store as she has such a wide range of different items. She sells beautiful hair fascinators, gift boxes, greeting cards and other accessories so you'd be sure to find something you love. The holiday season is oh so close!!! Get your shopping on and check out her beautiful store!!!
Here's a little bit more about her...
Where are you from?
Shelbyville, IL (aka the middle of nowhere)When did you start to craft?
As soon as I developed motor skills. I love crafting. My mom got me hooked when I was teensy and I never stopped.


How did you hear about Etsy and when did you join?
My boyfriend at the time was searching for skeleton key gifts and found it through google search. He told me about it, and I fell in love. Now we're married and he claims to be my manager because he told me about it in the first place

What kind of market is your work geared towards?
I haven't really put a lot of thought into the market. The purchases I've had have been from all different age ranges and locations. I suppose I market towards anyone who loves handmade pieces with a vintage feel.
What types of crafts/artwork do you do?
I make handmade jewelry, hair blossoms, and greeting cards. I occassionally venture my stamping abilities on other mediums (such as kitchen towels and other housewares).
What kinds of materials do you like to work with?
Cardstock, vintage papers, rubber stamps, vintage buttons, ribbon, chiffon, pearly glass beads, czech flower beads, antiqued brass
What are your inspirations?
My philosophy has been shaped by Andy Warhol (hence the shop name). I believe that there is beauty in anything and everything. I like to showcase the beauty in ordinary things (bicycles, sewing machines, nests). However, my style is a little less "pop" than Warhol's and a little more rustic and vintage.
Words of wisdom from factorygirlashli...
Be yourself. Don't let anyone tell you that what you're trying to do isn't wonderful. Find out what you love and do it to the best of your ability.

We love your store, where else can we find you?
