This is a photo of one of my pieces, currently untitled. It is 8.5 x 11. I made it as one of my journal pages in March of this year. We made a page each month, but we only had to choose five to submit to the exhibit. This is one that I did not include for the exhibit. I used some of my photographs to experiment in layering/transparency using organza as well as vellum. This photo was taken before I put the edging around it.I was fortunate to attend the Houston International Quilt show for the first time this year. I got to see and be inspired by this year's journal pages exhibit. It gave me a chance to read the other artists' statements and have a more intimate viewing of such personal/creative/experimental works. I attended the Studio Art Quilt/Journal Quilt reception as well and was able to pick up my copy of Creative Quilting: The Journal Quilt Project in person. Many thanks to Karey Bresenhan for creating this project and hosting the reception.

Lauralyn - just read your QA post and my mouth is open at your wonderful work. Where have you been hiding?? The transparency in this piece is beautiful.
I too am glad you posted your blog, you've done some really interesting work. Thanks
Very interesting work...keep posting! Glad you came out of the desert to let us know you are here.
I like this very much, thanks for posting the link on QA
I also just read your QA post and decided to visit. What a great site, you do such cool work. I love you dia de los muertos piece as well as the transparency piece. I just started this whole process and don't yet have the guts to put my blog up for all to see on the quiltarts board. I also don't have a whole lot of work to post! Keep up the great work and I will check back to see what's new in your world.
