Brittany Watson Jepsen is a multifaceted maker: stylist, illustrator, paper artist, do-it-yourselfer, blogger and interior designer. A self-professed Jane of all trades, she can’t decide which craft she enjoys best, therefore she dabbles in several. “When people ask what I do, I keep it simple and say, I’make stuff,'” she says.
Although she has the design chops to really go the distance in interiors (she has a master’s in interior design and has worked with Jonathan Adler and Celerie Kemble), Jepsen chose the industries of weddings and DIY blogging. She contributes to a slew of style blogs and is frequently asked to make installations and craft projects and also to style for magazines and market businesses. In the conclusion of the day, Jepsen believes that the best projects are the ones where something ordinary turns into something new and unexpected.

“I believe my paper flowers are a good representation of my artistic vision. Their dimension is a surprise; they’re whimsical. Nevertheless you find them in nature,” Jepsen states.

When Jepsen, an American from California, married a Dane, she used her wedding for a means to channel her energy. The end result was a Scandanavian backyard reception complete with oversize paper flowers, which sparked a oversize-paper-flower craze for brides all around the world.

Jepsen continues to draw from nature, specifically flowers. “Walking around Copenhagen, Denmark, is super inspirational. I really like how people dress in layers and how they coating,” she states. “I really like the old buildings and mix of colours and imperial imagery.”
This tea towel reflects Jepsen’s understanding of history and everything floral: The flower design is inspired by love poems in the Victorian era, where flowers sometimes took the place of words in expressions of love between couples.

“One project usually kick-starts a different undertaking. The paper flowers were the genesis of a great deal of things that I am doing today in my Etsy shop, such as the tea towels and oven gloves,” says Jepsen.

This frosted papier-mâché bowl reveals her knack of turning normal things into something special; the bowl was made with a balloon, some paper and a homemade glue.

Although she’s aware of trends in style and style, Jepsen fails to be mastered by them. “Friendship bracelets come back with a vengeance, but while I really like their colours and patterns, I just can’t wear them anymore,” she states. So the procedure was applied by Jepsen for creating the bracelets. The result is a multicolored rug in an on-trend chevron pattern.

Jepsen has outgrown her house and has moved into a shared studio in downtown Copenhagen. Her job desk is loaded with paints pom-poms, packaging, paper and stitching materials.
“The DIY craze is through the roof. We have access to other people’s projects like we have never had before and reside in this fishbowl kind of world. It’s worthwhile to create something yourself. Additionally, it is nice to trust other people’s vision and voice,” she states.

When she’s not in the studio creating things or coordinating blogger meet-ups, Jepsen finds”spots of sunlight” in light-hungry Denmark.
“Danes maximize their enjoyment of nature,” she states. “The winters are long and gray, so when summer comes, life is celebrated. I hope somehow that kind of energy is expressed in my job.”
