What I love about spinning is the fact that you can go in so many directions... and for me this allows creativity. My one of my latest projects is an art yarn.
I spun a single yarn from two handcarded batts, Merino based with several inclusions (bamboo, tencel, threads etc, all found at http://www.sarastexturecrafts.com/ ).

Below is a lighter photo so you can see the textures better.
Now I'm working with beads and buttons to create a bigger effect.
I'm hoping to turn this into a necklace to wear at Duchy Square and Wonderwool Wales. However, it's going to be a slow process as I still need to spin and dye so much more fibre and yarn before each show! Wish me luck!
