About aboundingtreasures

Sales 1,423
On Etsy since 2009
  • my main work area ~ believe me, it is RARELY this tidy + organized :o)
  • as you can see, I LOVE paper + when I see paper that inspires me or think it might be needed one day, I buy it -o)
  • my 2nd work area is where I store my stamps, ink, punches, tape, ribbon, paper scraps, paper cutter + Scor-Pal
  • one of many 3D butterfly keepsake memorial creations - all are custom-made in your choice of colors
  • unique art products -- Made to Order + shipped directly to you from my production partners

♥ Handmade Means Love, Passion + Creativity | Perfect Imperfection + Variation ♥

As a grandmother of 5 young ones, my creative focus is primarily 3D paper art for the home as well as ENCAUSTIC original small paintings, all individually HANDMADE by ME.

From the moment I placed my hot iron with melted wax on paper, I was captivated by its rich texture + luminosity! To be fully appreciated, these paintings need to be seen, touched and handled so you can appreciate and FEEL their texture.

Sometimes recycling used [sometimes vintage] books from thrift stores + other times using acid free card stock, I create 3D paper art featuring my signature butterflies, along with other shapes.

Some of the custom [bespoke] styles close to my heart are the various memorial 3D butterfly pieces, created to help parents have a tangible remembrance of babies that died too soon ~ a tragic experience that my husband and I went through many years ago ~ and these memorial keepsake, personalized creations have become cherished by many.

I always welcome CUSTOM ORDERS for paper creations ~ a number of my most popular creations grew out of the special requests of some of my customers!

I carry a selection of made-to-order art boards, tote bags, cushion covers, acrylic art blocks, chiffon scarves + carry-all pouches, all made by my production partners using images of my encaustic art.

I am so very fortunate to be able to do what I love, each and every day, and the very best experience of all since opening my shop in 2009, has been connecting with so many wonderful people from all over the world!

+++ With every order, I include a little something extra as a way of showing my appreciation + saying THANK YOU to each fabulous customer +++

Everything is designed, created + made with love in Nova Scotia, Canada
