I have gone over to Etsy too and just love your Stone work there! What a good idea to be dying the t-shirts as you are dying your cloth. You are so inspiring! Have you heard of ArtFlock? Ed from ArtFlock posted this in my blog the other day. "ArtFlock.com doesn’t charge to list work and you don’t have to sell all the artwork you list so it’s ideal for promoting you and your work - not just selling it." He wrote more in the post Abstract Design IX http://www.dianeclancy.com/blog/index.php/2007/04/23/abstract-design-ix/#comment-86 I am curious what others think, ~ Diane Clancy I love these Stones quilts!!

I used to find really nice river stones in New Jersey and they were great for my face paintings. People still want me to paint faces on stones, but there are no decent stones around here and I can't be arsed to go and find any. Ugh! the business side of art, but yes, it has to be done.

Shan - these are actually much simpler to make than my pieced quilts. The fabric has a heat sensitive adhesive applied to the back of it. So it is collaged and layered as you might paper and then justed ironed and it all sticks together. Thanks Sue. I rarely work with circles since I mainly piece and they are pretty difficult to piece. But it's fun to do something different every once in a while. Pixie - we do have some smooth stones in the rivers but most of them are fairly jagged as they come from our Rocky Mountains!

I like the quilt you are showing here. Circles are a challenging design element. Good luck with Etsy! ~Sue O'Kieffe http://sacred-circle-mandalas.blogspot.com Hi Lisa,

Is this the case? This one makes me feel like I'm looking at river rocks resting under the shallow water. I'm not a quilter but I've been reading your blog for a while and have recently been reading some fabric designer's blogs. Hmmm, maybe one of these days I'll actually make something with fabric. I loved your fabric organization post. Your dye colors are gorgeous. Hi Lisa,

You probably drove/sailed right by me. You don't have smooth stones? wow. I think that's all we have! Hi Lisa, from Wellington NZ, and my house by the sea. You probably drove/sailed right by me.
