Full Size Original Art Quilts, Smaller Framed works, & Digital reproduction Links
Art Quilter/Fiber Artist and Urban Farmer, Jen Siegrist, creates from her home just outside Cincinnati, Ohio. Using the ugliest, cast-off fabric she can find she tortures, dyes, sun-prints and thread-sketches each piece into a one-of-a-kind work of art.
"Taking what I deem to be unattractive, commercial cotton prints, I then overdye these cottons with fiber-reactive dye and move on to gathering botanical items from my garden to then sunprint with mica-laden acrylic paints. Then further dimension is added using free-form thread sketching through the layers of fabrics and batting.
Additions of appliqued tulle and/or Shiva paint sticks to further an image are sometimes employed."
Materials Used: Procion Dye, Acrylic sunprinting, Bleach dispersion, cotton thread

For all of my small pieces, there's the Etsy Shop for smallest original art budgets:

For all those times when you see something you just gotta have but original pieces just aren't a good fit.
How I get the details
Each piece goes through many processes before it's gets to the real details of thread sketching.
