Diary Quilt, Bears Have Excellent Suggestions

Title: Diary Quilt, Bears Have Excellent Suggestions
Media: velvet, inkjet printable cotton, laminated inkjet prints on paper
Date: summer 2007

It was unbearably hot at my job, so I made this quilt, in which an imaginary friend tries to help me out.
The talk bubbles read, from left to right, "Bleh. It is too humid.", and "You must try my latest totally fictional invention! An anti-humidity spray designed by certified experts to eliminate all humid conditions within a ten meter radius with just one Spritz! Satisfaction would be guaranteed if I weren't a complete figment of your imagination."

Diary Quilt, Dangerous Obsessions

Title: Diary Quilt, Dangerous Obsessions
Media: upholstery fabric, lace, inkjet printable cotton, laminate, inkjet on paper, found cartoon talk bubble
Date: summer 2007
The talk bubbles read, from top to bottom:
"You are a woman composed entirely of dangerous and frightening obsessions", "I have not had mochi in a long time," "We're quite sting-y", and "Seriously, no one takes the mochi!"

This quilt was created entirely around a found cartoon talk bubble that read, "I have not had mochi in a long time," and ended up being a wonderfully silly illustration of danger-defying stunts, radioactive scorpions and fun for the whole family.
