PaperWhimsy Product Categories
Just about everything we sell is made in house - from the cool images, designed and printed by me (Gale Blair), to the quirky and magnificently odd Amazing Alterables™, also designed and cut and packaged by me (with occasional assistance from my perfect husband). So, here's some info about the stuff we sell and what you should know...

______________________________________________________Amazing Alterables™
Our array of original, quirky cool laser-cut decorative shapes are a mixed media artist's dream date. The Amazing Alterables™ are original designs designed by me (Gale Blair) (and occasionally Phillip Drawbridge, aka Perfect Husband, when I twist his arm) and hence, are protected under copyright laws. Reproduction of our original designs is expressly forbidden under copyright laws and there are stringent legal penalties for copyright infringement.
I cut the alterables from a premium eco-friendly wood fiberboard, in-house in my little laser cutting studio using my wee but mighty laser. This eco-friendly substrate takes paint, stain, and mixed media processes extremely well.
All of the designs within this line are uniquely ours and the vast majority of these products are only sold right here, from our website. Many of the designs are inspired by ancient and antique sources with a curiously odd twist because that's just plain fun.
A characteristic of laser-cut wood is a slight burnishing around the edges of the cuts. That's because a laser beam of pure light is burning through the substrate. This burnishing can be lightened with a few swipes of fine grit sandpaper (be sure to use a respirator when sanding wood). Also characteristic for laser cut wood is for your goods to have a very slight but quite pleasant burnt wood aroma, but that usually dissipates within 24-48 hours when left in open air.
Our Amazing Alterables™ are for decorative use only and are not intended to be used as toys or to be used by children.
