VIDEO!
A magical garden comes to life in Jake's
brand new video "My Garden".
Along with beautiful backdrops painted
by Jake's daughter Kathleen, the pictures
in "My Garden" are made of hundreds
of individual fabric scraps donated by
Jake & Val's local Freecycle group,
and augmented with a feather, a book,
and a few photos.
