Welcome to my colorful world of Fiber Art and Quilts!
I'm Debbie Jones, from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
My lifelong passion for fabric has evolved from fashion design into art quilts, fabric collage and now ... fiber fusion. Wisps of unspun fibers (silk, wool, bamboo and more) are bonded together to create lustrous fiber fusion "fabric" that is stitched into many of my art quilts ... or I shape it while wet to make 3-D vessels. Recently, I've been painting fibers and unique fabrics directly on upcycled glass vases. Fairy lights inside give a beautiful glow at night.
These days, my studio is a colorful explosion of fiber and fabric, dyes and supplies, all in the joyful creation of fiber vessels, art quilts and more. Always breaking the rules by asking "what if?", I'm a fiber art rebel with more ideas than time!
Please take a look around to see examples of this distinctive art form and let me know if you're interested in purchasing my work or commissioning me for a custom design. Your comments would be most welcome.
Thanks for stopping by my website -- I hope you enjoy your visit!

Fiber Fusion Landscape
Fiber Fusion Landscape, made with silk and bamboo fibers on glass.
Close-up
Technique: The 5"x7" glass was removed from the frame and cleaned. Then I painted loose fibers (silk and bamboo) directly to the glass in very thin layers using a fine art varnish, allowing time to dry between layers. Up close, you can see the individual fibers which remain soft and textured but firmly attached. Love the rich colors! I'm experimenting further with this idea and made one of these with fibers on both sides of the glass, a reversible landscape that can easily be turned around in the frame. It's like two landscapes in one! More photos coming soon.
