My name is Jessi, and I love to create unique art inspired by the world around me. I am an avid nature lover, and what some call a "Bird Nerd". Many of the critters in my shop are inspired by the wildlife that live in the forests surrounding my town, deep in the Cascade mountains of Washington.

I've always been a maker, and I am constantly looking for new ways to create. I love watching the process as I take my designs from the depths of my imagination and turn them into something tangible... I have another shop on Etsy, (Dream of a Dream) where I create with silver and bronze. Since most of my items there are either silver or bronze, I LOVE working with the endless color options of felt. That's probably why you'll see bright, bold colors and textures here at Willow & Quail!

I've just recently found Blythe, and I'm loving exploring all the things I can make for her! Check out some new creations on my blog site here: http://willowandquail.blogspot.com/

Most importantly, I think that you should do what you love to do, and don't apologize for who you are, or what you create. The world needs more dreamers!
