I have been remiss about putting anything here. I’m not sure there is a point to a website when social media seems to take over and be the way to communicate with the world.

In this year of pandemic life I took up watercolor painting which has morphed to mixed media. I feel like mixed media is my poetry when it comes to art.

Here are some of my watercolor efforts. Enjoy. Drop a line about how you surive, survived, and and surviving this long season of social distance life.

I’m excited to say I got a SEMAC grant to make a show about women I find amazing, but are not well known. I’ve been working on their fiber protists and a banner for it. Here are some sneak peek pictures.

Here are two of my current favorites which are not portraits and are more or less whimsical. The lady with hair is fabric and ink. The crying moon is all fabric. Enjoy.

Here are some fiber portraits of women I finding inspiring in various stages of done to in progress that I am working on.

I do have some fabric art on display in Minneapolis until January of 2020 on this same theme. Those images and post forthcoming.

Dear Viewer,

I am making it a goal to post more content here at my site to let you know what’s going on. I do have an author page on Face Book under my name, and I have my business too which is JoJo’s FUNky threads.

I’ve been working hard on the up-cycled clothing part of my business and it brings me much satisfaction. I will put some pictures here of what I am working on. I’ve found that denim is my preferred fabric medium to work with and with each piece I upcycle, I want to make it like wearable art. The denim jackets I’ve been working on sport my embroidery work.

I’ve also been writing. Today I wrote another poem about snow because this has been the snowiest February on record in our region of Minnesota. We had an early snow in October, 2018 which was joyful, however the elation of the first snow has long since given way to some exasperation as it’s hard now to find places to PUT the snow we must remove.

I thank you for reading this and I will post some pictures of my up cycled clothing and some poetry too.

Sincerely,

J. Jesseph
