Art Every Day Month: November 10
Quilt section, originally uploaded by Leah Virsik.
It’s day 10 of Art Every Day Month.
A teaser of my quilt. This is actually one square I like. I know it doesn’t look like a square… I’ve been enjoying using my scanner lately rather than the camera… especially with these dark evenings.
Tom’s impressed that I’ve been keeping this up. I’m actually impressed too. It’s so fun to be a part of larger community and connect with other people who enjoy making! You all are helping me keep going. Thanks!
My friend Bonnie Randall Boller (who started a blog!) sent me this link about dry point etching on a cardboard plate. Looks like fun and easier than zinc. My first introduction to printmaking was from Enrique Chagoya in college.

I love the colors you have chosen for this quilt square!
Quite the teaser! I will be anxious to see the rest….
Enjoyed looking at some of your other posts as well—your work is wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice quilt piece! I like all the patterns and mix of colors in a flowing fashion – very cool!

I’m a friend of Bonnie also! ( I live in Alameda, CA)
I was just looking at an artist named Ellen Soffer that might appeal to you. http://bit.ly/QLQvI
Dry Etching on cardboard looks fun.

Your colors and patterns go so well together. It looks like it will be cozy to snuggle under.

Pam, Linda, Julie, Susie, Laura, Sharon and Rowena, thank you very much!
Rebecca, thanks for writing, small world eh! Thanks for sending the link of Ellen Soffer’s work. Her work feels like it could transfer easily to fabric as well.
