I am working on a series of collages of  amazing women.

This is of Ema  Gonzalez when she gave the BS speech  

My life has changed since about April or May of 2017 when I got a new sewing machine.  I’ve used to FUNk up clothing, but more importantly, I’ve used it to help make fabric collage. In addition to that sewing machine, I also recently acquired an embellisher which really helps with fabric collage.

Above are pictures of what I am working on or have made in the vein of fabric collage.

All are for sale. Contact me about sizes. Reasonably priced for each coat.

I won’t say much about this piece, but I am working on more to present. I have much to learn about fiber art, and this kind of fiber art I want to get better at which involves quilting. This is my first effort in this area, and as I said before, I want to keep working in this medium and improve in it too.

In the pictures are some projects I have finished recently and not so recently.

Enjoy the lime green and pink dress made from a vintage pattern. This is not for sale.

The Oz pants are for sale. I will post them at my ETSY soon.

The FUNked up coat IS for sale and works well for between seasons, like going from summer to fall or winter to spring. But you can wear it whenever you want.

What are your fiber passions? Yarn? Embroidery thread? Sewing thread? What about the smell of new fabric. I love that smell.

Hello! I am going to use this site again though I thought I had let it go. I’ve been working on new material for reading/performing in the vein of spoken word. I don’t have anything to post here at the moment, but if I can get a video of myself performing I will put it here.

I have also been creating wearable art for my ETSY store so be sure to check that out. My store is JensKnitsandPicks.

So, dream on! Welcome spring! And create and share your art.

I am reading from my book tonight at 6:30 at the Rochester Public Library.

It is on the first floor in meeting room C.

I hope to see you there and thanks for checking.

Come on out and join me for a poetry reading from my book, “Make Art From Your Splattered, Scattered, Brain: My Journey Through Post-Concussion Syndrome.”

I am going to use some bongo drums for interludes, effect, and fun.

Learn about concussions, brain injuries, and the beauty of healing.
