This week's featured seller is Gillian from Gillian's Mixed Media Musings.
Tell us a bit about yourself
My name is Gillian, I live on the North East coast of Scotland. I am married to a very patient and tolerant husband who doesn't mind the crafty mess I create. I am a full time working mum to a teeneage boy. 
Mainly Mixed Media & Altered Art pieces. I like the distressed,grunged,vintage look.
Why do you use that medium?
Mainly because there is so much you can do, you can really "think outside the box" with this style.
When/ how did you start crafting?
I started crafting in 2002, as a time out hobby where I could switch off from the day to day life stuff. I started mainly with cardmaking/stamping
When did you start selling your stuff - where do you sell?
Do you also have a day job, or is this your main job?
I work full time for my local authority council. I am a senior social care worker in a day care unit for older people.
What do you love about your medium, what do you hate?
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Depending what I am working on, I just tend to look at the materials I'm about to work with and then take it from there. I don't work to a set rule.
What is your favourite music to craft to?
I don't listen to any music when crafting.
What is your favourite piece of your own?
This is my favourite piece http://www.folksy.com/items/1281069-Rusty-Hanging-Cone-Paris-Passion?shop=yes
Sadly I don't have a craft room, so all my crafting is done in the dining room.
Gillian thanks so much for taking part, I've loved finding out a bit more about your mixed media creations!

Ive been lucky enough to work with gillian on several ventures and crafted together in my house and hers and i love how her work has evolved. looking forward to doing our first craft fair together in march. Gillians attention to detail is what i like and the fact she likes to make sure what she makes is going to stand up to its purpose and not let a buyer down. good luck with the folksy shop G x
