Hello! Well, writing about yourself always feels weird, huh? Oh well, here goes: I'm Jesse & I LOVE making things. As far back as I can remember I've always been drawn to the creative process, wanting to try my hand at whatever project was fascinating me that week. I also love encouraging others to be creative as well! Years ago I finally opened up my Etsy shop, after my awesome supportive family & friends encouraged me to, and it's been quite an adventure. Spanning from clothes, to furniture & home decor, to now string art - the shop has taken quite a few turns as different interests pop up. And now with a huge focus on kits & DIY - I can't wait to see how you all like the upcoming ideas I have!
I live in Ben Lomond, California with my partner, Ralph, and our three (yep, 3!) cats. We love working on our home in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and getting our hands onto all sorts of fun yard & home projects. The hiking is fantastic around here, so we be sure to set aside some time for that too. I also love cooking, entertaining, and decorating for a darn good party!
I also have a blog where I occasionally post projects, check it out: http://NineRed.com
I also wrote a book! Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/DIY-String-Art-Designs-Create/dp/1632504677/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503073147&sr=8-1&keywords=diy+string+art
I'm glad that we have a site like this that promotes creativity, and entrepreneurship. It's great to see so much awesome work!
