Gas station covering

Just in case you’ve got an old abandoned eye-sore in your neighborhood, and you’re sick of looking at it, you could consider doing what artist Jennifer Marsh did: create a “cosy” for it.  You know, a cosy…as in toaster cosy, teapot cosy, toilet paper cosy… Those inexplicable fabric covers that some people insist on sticking overtop of everything.

But an abandoned gas station?  Wow!  Isn’t that great?

Information on Jennifer’s Gas Station Project can be found on the International Fiber Collaborative Website, along with information on Jennifer’s other projects.  She writes, Participants crocheted, knitted, stitched, patched, or collaged 3 foot square fiber panels that expressed each participants concern about the topic. Simply by designing and creating these panels and participating in this project, they were expressing their concern about this important subject to all nations. All of the panels were then sewn together to completely cover an abandoned gas station in central New York State.”
