I do both traditional and art quilts. My avatar is an art quilt and I have 2 small ones in progress now that I will post at some point. I also have a Hugh one I started and put aside until I have better skills. Will get back to that one soon too.

I read your blog on journal quilting Judebug and enjoyed it. I was just about to toss the first one until you convinced me to keep at it. I can't seem to figure out where I'm going with it or where I'll be when I get there. It was an experiment in mystyfuse and embroidery and FMQ. Still is quite experimental in every sense of the word. 
Thanks for the encouragement.
MissTreated I enjoyed your pretty quilts also. The one with the man at the window is very creative! When you look close he looks very harmless but you have to be willing to look. Mostly I've just seen him in my dreams.
Good job!

Using Solvy, Misty Fuse or Temporary Stabilizers to create 'fabric'

I'm sharing this so others can do their own 'research' in a similar fashion and start trying something new from the inspiration available online.

Two Recent Art Quilts
The floral one is 12" square. Background fabric was created by weaving two different hand dyed cottons. All the flowers were made from the trimmed selvage ends of a batik jelly roll. The largest flower center is a Fimo Art Clay cabochon. I couched a Japanese Kumihimo braid around the quilt edge for texture.
My "Double Trouble" cats fishing quilt is one of my favorite original designs. It just won a Blue Ribbon People's Choice for Favorite Cat Theme at our local Friends of Pets fundraiser. I bought the quilt back because I loved it so much.
