Hello from Gale Blair.
Back in 2001, I found myself falling in love with collage art. It was a whole new and exciting discovery for me. I bought my first issue of Somerset Studio and plopped down at my art table with scissors, paper and glue.
Then something amazing happened, all those antique photos I'd been squirreling away suddenly had a new purpose. I started scanning the photos and jumped into Photoshop (which was like jumping off a cliff with no parachute - I had no idea what I was doing).
After many many months and lots of tears, Photoshop and I came to a friendly understanding and I was selling my first collage sheet in late 2001, on eBay (Sheet 001, which, to this day, is still one of my favorites). My initial collection blossomed to, what I thought was, an astonishing 16 sheets. Today, I offer over 400 different image sheets - and the collection continues to grow. A love affair still to this day 22 years later.
Now, along with Photoshop, I'm tackling vector software and laser beams designing and manufacturing my line of weird Amazing Alterables™.
Working from a small workshop, orders are printed and/or cut per order, fresh off the printer or the laser and done especially for you! Please note that ship times can run anywhere from 2-6 weeks (and occasionally longer during busy times). If you're purchasing Collage Sheet Downloads - those are delivered to your inbox almost instantly when your payment is processed.
The goal is always to provide customers with exceptional products and friendly personalized service. When you send an email to PaperWhimsy it doesn’t funnel through several people – it comes right to the Whimsy desk manned by me. Occasionally, Phillip, the tech guru and perfect husband, will lend his expertise with techie and design assistance.
PaperWhimsy is truly a cottage industry run with lots of love from a cozy little cottage in Mudsock (aka Fishers), Indiana.
