About Worthy Made Paper
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm Ashley, based outside of Los Angeles in a sweet little town called Ventura, California. I'm 33 years old, a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mom (after a long infertility journey), a friend, and a lover of all things homemade. Enneagram type: 1w2.
I've been a maker since 2010, but it wasn't until August 2017 that I decided to attempt to put my passions and interests to work by utilizing Etsy (though I did sell a couple random things back in 2013). There is something so special about locally-made goods – you feel good buying them and you feel good giving them as gifts to your loved ones.
I specialize in miscellaneous home goods in different forms (e.g. original art prints, bookmarks, recipe cards, greeting cards, etc.) all made using brush and ink techniques as well as watercolors and, occasionally, digital art. I'm passionate about quality homemade/locally-made goods that are not over-priced. My hope is to provide you with pieces that are original and unique, minimalistic, whimsical, peaceful, rustic, while remaining affordable.
I'm also passionate about doing my best (and our best may look different from one another, or different day-to-day based on our own bandwidth) to make earth-friendly swaps where and when I can. Regarding my shipping materials, I have swapped plastic sleeves for plant-fiber sleeves, and my mailers are all from 100% recycled materials. I will continue to make changes to support our planet where and when I can.
Please take a look around, and contact me if you have any questions at all.
Grace and peace,
Ashley
