Hi! I'm Lilian a.k.a. Merry Makewell. I'm a serial crafter - having tried a number of crafts and techniques including dressmaking, hand embroidery and crochet - but my absolute favourite is papercrafting in all its forms.
I've always loved paper - the feel, the smell, the pretty patterns and the promise of a blank sheet - so when I discovered cardmaking several years ago I was instantly hooked. It's an easy and accessible way to make art without being able to draw or paint. Since then I've branched out into digital papercutting, mixed media art and creating paper and 3D projects for home décor.
My love of pretty, patterned paper and fabric led me to creating my own designs as Merry Makewell Designs where I design surface patterns for fabric, digital paper and home décor. As an avid maker I also started designing templates for mini albums, junk journal folios and shaped cards under the banner of The Makewell Paper Co.
I share crafting and design projects and tutorials on my YouTube channels - Merry Makewell Makes, Merry Makewell Designs and The Makewell Paper Co..
I'm always looking to expand my creative horizons and I hope that I can help you to expand yours as well.
