On March 9th & 10th, 2024, Valley Art Association hosted their annual Spring Art Show and Silent Auction at the Gene Bianchi Community Center in Oakdale, California. This event is a great opportunity for local artist to showcase their recent art projects, and for Oakdale residents, as well as travelers passing through, to experience our artistic culture. 

In 2023, I participated in the Oakdale Spring Art Show for the first time, presenting two dresses I created, as well as a series of Fashion Shoe Illustrations I had drawn in Ink. It was a great experience participating, and I knew I would be participating again in the upcoming years. I love representing Fashion at these artistic events, and I hope my work is inspiring to others, as other's artwork is inspiring to me. For the 2024 Oakdale Spring Art Show, I created a Doily Dress and Cape Ensemble, and I presented my Golden Poppy Day Dress that I created in 2023.

The textile I created using Vintage Doilies and a Vintage Tablecloth. 2024
Last year I purchased an old trunk filled with vintage doilies, linens, and tablecloths. For this art show project, I wanted to create a unique new textile using doilies and a vintage tablecloth from the fabric I acquired in the old trunk. I had the idea to create a new dress with the fabric. 

​I cut the vintage fabric into rectangles, backed each rectangle with muslin, then sewed all the rectangle pieces together to create a new textile that was truly unique. I really enjoyed the process of this old fabric transforming into a new dress and cape! I hope that you enjoy my latest fashion creation! It was a lot of work!

Representing Fashion Design as Art at the Valley Art Association’s 2023 Art Scholarship Fund Exhibition

Valley Art Association 2023 Art Scholarship Fund Exhibition. This year's exhibition was held at the Gene Bianchi Community Center located on 2nd Avenue in Oakdale, California. February 23rd-26th
This past weekend Valley Art Association, an organization promoting art since 1972, held their annual Art Scholarship Exhibition at the Bianchi Community Center in Oakdale, California. 

Leading up to this event, local artist in the region were invited to participate in the art exhibition by submitting their artworks and entry fees prior to the showing. Valley Art Association uses this annual event to raise funds for their scholarship program that is awarded to students studying art within the community. 

After contacting Valley Art Association directly, I was happily informed that my fashion designs, as well as fashion illustrations, would be warmly welcomed!

Valley Art Association's Call to Artist Flyer distributed locally and online.
I quickly gathered up my favorite recent artworks, along with my artsy husband, Javier Rangel, and we began to prepare the work we wanted to showcase for our submission...
When thinking about my past art projects, I wanted to showcase my personal favorites. For this exhibition, I chose a series of Ink Illustrations that I created, as well as two outfits that I designed, constructed, and hand embellished.
The Art Exhibit Begins! 
On Thursday, February 23rd, Javi and I, along with all of the other participating artists, dropped off our artworks at the Bianchi Community Center in Downtown Oakdale. The representatives from VAA (Valley Art Association) were so welcoming and friendly! They expressed such enthusiasm for my fashion design work, and were genuinely pleased to be showcasing fashion art here! 

The following evening, Friday, February 24th, from 5pm to 7pm, the Opening Night of the exhibit, with 101 pieces of artwork displayed for public viewing began. That same evening, The City of Oakdale hosted a 3rd Street Grand Opening Celebration to commence the completion of Downtown Oakdale's 3rd Street Renovation Project.

Rain poured steadily from the cloudy skies, as the local townsfolk of Oakdale gathered together for the 3rd Street Grand Opening, with Mayor Cherilyn Bairos "Cutting the Ribbon" marking the symbolic opening of the new beautifully cobbled stoned road.

​The Bianchi Community Center is just a block away from 3rd Street, making this event a perfect evening for shopping and dining, followed by a rainy-evening stroll to The Valley Art Association's Art Scholarship Fund Exhibition! Which is exactly what myself and my family did! 
It was quite fun seeing my work, and my husbands, displayed amongst such talented local artists at the art show! 

Fashion Illustration: Shoes!

One of the artworks I presented during this exhibit is a framed series of ink illustrations, the subject of my drawings... Fashion Shoes! 
I created these drawings by looking at advertisements in past issues of Vogue Magazine. I really enjoyed the challenge of capturing the intricate design details of these shoes, by using  fashion illustration and technical flat illustration techniques! All of these drawings were hand-drafted in pencil and then inked with a Copic Multi-Liner Ink Set. 

Here I am with my framed Fashion Shoe Illustrations at the Valley Art Association Annual Scholarship Exhibition on the opening night of the exhibit:

In addition to my illustrations, I selected two of my favorite fashion designs to showcase: my Hand-Painted Floral Day Dress and my hand-beaded Parthenon High-Waisted Skirt paired with my Satin Crepe Drop Sleeve Blouse. Both of these designs were first showcased on the runway at Oakland Fashion Week, located in Oakland, California.

So Much Talent!

And The Winners Are...
The three day art exhibit came to an end on Sunday, February 26th with an Artist Reception and Award Ceremony. The Rangel Family was in attendance, along with many other local artist and their associates. Delicious snacks, fresh coffee, and lemonade was served as we enjoyed a Silent Auction, followed by the Mayor's Choice Award. 

The City of Oakdale's Mayor Cherilyn Bairos presented artist, Steven Jamie Powers with the Mayor's Choice Award, for his painting of Gilbert's Feed. Oakdale is a city with a rich history in agriculture, and it was very interesting to hear Mayor Bairos heartwarming memory of her family's local history, when her great grandfather was a customer of  Gilbert's Feed. A story "near and dear" to the Mayor's heart!

In addition to the Mayor's Choice Award, Valley Art Association presented the Viewer's Choice Award, an award given to the artist with the most votes from those who attended the exhibit. And The Artist Choice Award, where participating artist voted for their favorite artist in the exhibit.

Surprisingly, for the first time in history, there was a 6-way tie for first place in The Artist Choice Category! Out of the six artworks that were most voted for, one name was selected at random to be crowned Artist Choice. This recipient of the selection was artist Steven Jamie Powers and his painting of San Francisco. My husband, artist Javier Rangel, and his pencil drawing of actor Robyn Williams, was one of the six artist in The Artist Choice Award tie! 
Artist Bradley Pultz and his painting of a underwater scene won The Viewers Choice Award. 
Congratulations to all of the amazing artist who were recognized for their outstanding artwork at the reception!   

I hope that you enjoyed my experience participating in the Valley Art Association's Annual Scholarship Fund Exhibition 2023 in Oakdale, California!

​My husband, Javi and I are now members of the Valley Art Association! As members, we look forward to being a part of the local artist community, learning from the many talented individuals in this group, and participating in more artistic events in the near future! 


If you were able to attend the art exhibit, did you enjoy seeing fashion presented? Which were your favorite artworks? I would love to hear your feedback and experience! Leave me a comment below! 
Thank you for reading my blog,
​I hope you have an Artistically Inspired Day!

My Vintage Sewing Pattern Collection: Authentic 1940's

6/16/2021

3 Comments

 
Welcome back!

Today I would love to take you on a Fashion Illustration Appreciation Journey to the 1940’s!
​
​In this article we will be taking a close-up look at my personal "Home-Sewing" pattern collection, specifically the fashion illustrations found on the front of my Vintage Sewing Pattern envelopes! The patterns I have selected to share with you today are straight from the 1940’s!
Picture

​Whenever I pull out these gems, I am in awe! The condition of these paper patterns alone amazes me! And then... the illustrations! 

Just studying the lovely fashion illustrations that grace the covers of these vintage pattern envelopes are sure to inspire! Hence, my desire to scan, and archive these treasures to share with those that may not have access to such historical fashion illustrations! ​

I hope that you have enjoyed viewing this photo collection of my Vintage Sewing Patterns from the 1940's! 1940's Fashion has always been an inspiration to me, and after studying these illustrations it is no wonder that 1940's Fashion has continued to inspire so many, for decades there after!

​If seeing these lovely vintage fashion illustrations, from the 1940's,  are intriguing to you, I have a few more fashion illustration resources to recommend:

From my fashion and sewing library, I have the lovely book of sewing pattern illustrations: Blueprints of Fashion, Home Sewing Patterns of the 1940's, by Wade Laboissonniere. This book is laid out in a similar fashion as this blog article, it features scanned archived photos of the original sewing pattern envelopes from the 1940's, with a large collection of over 550 images! I also have the 1950's Volume of Blueprints of Fashion, which is just as amazing.
Picture

Picture
A book from my fashion and sewing library: Dress Design: Draping and Flat Pattern Making, By Hillhouse and Mansfield (1948).
The book, Dress Design: Draping and Flat Pattern Making by Hillhouse and Mansfield is a pattern drafting book from 1948! That is a book I could do a whole article on alone! If that is something you would like to see more of, let me know! I am privileged to have several vintage design books within my library!  
Another fantastic fashion resource regarding 1940's Fashion is this video by Vogue, narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker:
Lastly, I'd love to share with you a fun 1940's relic within my Sewing Workroom: this lovely 1944 Singer, with the owner's manual and desk! I hope to fully restore, or at least clean her up, one day! 
Picture
My 1944 Singer!
Thank you again for reading my blog! I hope 1940's Fashion has inspired you as much as it has me! 

​I have plans to continue this Blog Series with a photo collection of more of my vintage sewing patterns from other decades, as well as fashion illustrations from patterns that are vintage reproductions! Leave me a comment below on your thoughts, what you like or do not like about 1940's fashion, or what decade inspires you?

​Now, I'm off to start sewing! 
Have an Inspired Day!

A "PEZ FOR SALE" Art Contest, and My First Place Winning Artwork!

3/18/2020

1 Comment

 
On March 10th, 2020, the winner of a Facebook Group Art Contest was announced... and...Surprise! My artwork was the grand prize winner! 
Check out the drawing I created specifically for this contest: 
Picture
My First Place Winning Artwork! A "PEZ FOR SALE" Drawing in ink and color pencil, by Roxanne Rodriguez Rangel.
Two weeks ago, a contest was published on a Facebook Group that I belong to called, "PEZ For Sale". This group allows group members to sell or buy PEZ Dispensers. PEZ Dispenser Collecting has been a lifelong hobby of mine, I currently have over 1000 PEZ Dispensers along with other PEZ merchandise and memorabilia! You can check out my growing collection HERE.  

As a member of the "PEZ For Sale" Facebook Group, I have purchased some great pieces over that past year or so, and have gotten some great deals. When the contest was announced, I was very intrigued, and definitely wanted to participate!

Landon Proctor, one of the group administrators, posted a video on the "PEZ For Sale" Group Page, explaining that he wanted to hold an art contest so that group members would create an art piece that he could use as a Cover Photo for the Group's Page. All entries must meet the size requirements of a Facebook Cover Page, and include the words "PEZ For Sale". Other than that the artwork could be created in any way, it could be a digital artwork, a photograph, a drawing, anything really. The contestants were given several days before the deadline of submission. Once the deadline approached, Landon Proctor would judge the entries by choosing the art that he liked the best as The Grand Prize Winner. The grand prize would be two (one red and one blue) of the NEW Disney Parks Monorail Pez Dispenser Display! 
Click here to read an article, about these new displays, published on WDW News Today's Website:
New Disney Parks Monorail PEZ Dispenser Display
As you can imagine, I was super excited to have an opportunity to win these unique PEZ Displays! I do not plan on visiting Disneyland soon, and the California Park is the only place these are currently being sold. I immediately began brainstorming ideas, knowing I would draw something by hand for my entry. I then busted out my trusty pencil, eraser, sketch pad, Copic Multiliner Ink Set, and my Prismacolor Color Pencils!  
Work in Progress...
Picture
I drew my "PEZ For Sale" Sketch first in pencil, then in ink. I later added the PEZ Girl and PEZ Boy to the sides, to make the drawing fit Facebook Cover Photo dimensions. Here is my drawing in just ink.
I love drawing, and find PEZ Dispensers especially fun to draw the likeness of! I decided for my entry I would draw something festival inspired, with a carousel, that had (instead of the traditional horses), PEZ Dispensers! I also thought it would be cute to add a festival inspired banner with the words, "PEZ For Sale", along with some iconic and newly released dispensers. I particularly loved drawing that (oh so cute) Hello Kitty Llama PEZ Dispenser! I then added a PEZ Girl and a PEZ Boy to each side of my main drawing to widen my artwork so it would meet the dimension requirements for a Facebook Cover Photo. I spent a good several hours on my drawing over the span of two days... then I uploaded it to the entry site...

Today, Wednesday, March 18th, 2020, a package arrived from Burbank, California! It was my fabulous Grand Prize from Landon Proctor of the "PEZ For Sale" Facebook Group! My two oldest children huddled around me anxiously, as I opened the box revealing these lovely Disney Parks Monorail PEZ Candy Dispenser Displays! It is so exciting to add these unique pieces to my collection! I am so grateful to Landon Proctor for choosing my drawing as the winner, and for offering such a generous prize! 

Check out a few photos that I took, using my Vintage Mickey and Vintage Donald Duck PEZ Dispensers as models!

Surprisingly, there are many contest that I have found on Facebook, and other Social Media sites, through various pages that I 'Like" or groups that I am a member of, especially in the PEZ Collecting Community! In the past year or two, I have entered several contests. 
​ 
​Check out a few of my past Contest Entries:

Envelope Art that I created for The Portugal Pez Gathering.
This is the Envelope Art that I created in May of 2019, and submitted to an Envelope Art Contest held by The Portugal PEZ Gathering. Contestants were invited to participate from all around the world, and were asked to send their entry by mail all the way to Portugal! I thought it was such a clever idea to have entries arrive this way! Imagine the interesting effect of postage and post office stamps on the Envelope Artwork! Although my envelope was not a winner, I was sent a participation gift, along with someone else's Envelope Art that was created at The Portugal PEZ Gathering of 2019. This was a really awesome contest to be a part of!

This is the Huckleberry Hound Comic Book Cover I used as inspiration for my contest entry.
This is my entry into a Funko Pop! PEZ Photography Contest, with a prize of a Gold Huckleberry Hound Funko Pop! PEZ Dispenser, sent to the winner directly from Funko! For my entry, I used a mixed media approach, and re-created a cover of a Huckleberry Hound Comic Book! I drew the cow, moon, and spaceship, and then I cut them out, suspending them with thread, over blue fabric, with my Funko Pop! Huckleberry Hound PEZ Dispenser inside! I was really happy with the effect, but unfortunately, this was not a winning photo...
In the future I plan to continue to use my artistic abilities to enter as many contests as offered! I have found it extremely fun to create art for these contests, even if I have only won once (which is awesome enough for me!)!

Thank you for reading about my Winning Artwork for the "PEZ For Sale" Art Contest! I look forward to sharing with you many more art and fashion projects in the months to come!

This is a Screen Shot of the "PEZ For Sale" Facebook Group Page, that now has my artwork as its cover photo! My drawing will be displayed as the group's cover photo for one month! After the month is over, all other entries to the contest will be rotated as the group's cover photo.
Have a very PEZZY Day!

An Ink Sketch of mine from times past... Crab Rose in Ink, by Roxanne Rodriguez Rangel.
My how fast the year passes by, and in a blink of an eye, the seasons change, our beloved October has come and gone, and (depending on where you live) wintery days are finally upon us! 
Picture
If you enjoy drawing in Ink, as I do, you most likely are familiar with the Artistic Social Media Challenge that takes place every October, which is known as #Inktober! Or... if you are a regular reader of this Blog, you may recall a similar article as this, that I posted two years ago, about Inktober 2017!

Those participating in #Inktober, whether an artist or not, have the goal of drawing an ink drawing each day of the 31 days of October. The Official #Inktober Website provides a prompt list of inspiration if needed. However, using the provided prompt list is not required! Simply draw in ink each day! 
Here is the Official Rules of #Inktober, as well as the Official 2019 #Inktober Prompt List:

As for myself, this is the second year that I have decided, and been able to, participate in #Inktober.
The first year I participated in Inktober was in 2017. During that year, I decided to opt out of using the provided Prompt List, and instead chose to focus my drawing mostly on Fashion Illustrations. 
You can check out the Blog Post that I put together about my participation in #Inktober2017, which includes each of my 31 illustrations from October 2017, by clicking HERE. 

Last year, during October 2018, I had fully intended on participating in Inktober once again, however, before I knew it, October 2018 came and went! I drew a measly three ink drawings during the entire month! 

​Check them out: ​

My #Inktober2019 Illustrations!
​Whenever I have the time to do so, which isn't very often, I love drawing Fashion Illustrations, or completing some sort of art project. Although I have been drawing all of my life,  drawing women's faces has always been a challenge for me. When I took Fashion Illustration Classes in college, I began to improve in this area, but I still wasn't that good. During Inktober 2017, I began to get even better at drawing women's faces (which is the whole reason for Inktober: To improve in our inking!)! During that particular fall, I found that my rendering of a woman's face in pencil was fairly good, but then as I began to ink the drawing, my lady's faces became monstrous! My goal for #Inktober2019 is to improve in this area even more so!

My NEW Copic Multiliner Ink Pen Set! It is Amazing!
As October began to approach again this year, I made the goal to create 31 Ink Drawings, by challenging myself to draw (mostly) fashion related illustrations to sharpen, and fine tune, my inking skills! Usually, my preferred Inking Medium is Sharpies, regular and fine-tip, but this year I treated my Husband, and myself, to a new set of Copic Multiliner Ink Pens! I absolutely love them! Having this lovely fresh set of ink surely inspired me to keep on drawing! I also noticed that as I switched from Sharpies to Copics, and began using the various pens included in the Multiliner Set, I was able to keep the delicate details in my drawings of women's faces, that I was able to achieve with a sharp pencil! My drawings of women faces began to improve drastically! I hope that I can continue to advance in my face drawing, and in my inking skills! 
​Lets see how I do! ​
Now, continue to scroll down to view all 31 of my #Inktober 2019 Illustrations! 
​Enjoy!

At this point, during my Inktober Challenge, I started using my new Copic Multiliner Ink Pen Set. I found that with the various multiliners included in this set, I was able to achieve much more detail in my cross-hatching and line work! Check out the following Fashion Illustration that I drew starting on Day 6. It is so much better than the illustration I completed just days before on Day 5! Also compare my drawing on Day 7, vs. Day 5: I used my Copics on Day 7 to create a full-body fashion illustration, where on Day 5 I used a Fine-Tip Sharpie. ​I am so excited with the outcome!

Whew, that's all of them! 
I hope that you enjoyed viewing my #Inktober2019 Illustrations, as much as I enjoyed drawing and improving in my drawing and inking skills! Inktober 2019 proved again how challenging it is to find time each day to complete a drawing. I found myself simplifying my illustrations due to time. However, I am really happy with all of my artwork! Of course, I still have much improvement to grow, and I can't wait to start Inktober 2020! You know it will be here soon! 

I would love to hear your feedback on what you thought of my drawings! Which were your favorites? I personally love drawing Fashion Illustrations of Shoes! Which is something I never thought I would be as good at! I also found out how much I love my Copic Multiliner Pen Set! 

​Did you participate in #Inktober2019? If so, share a link to your work in the comments below! Let me know what type of ink pens you used or prefer! I would love to see your art, and hear about your experience!

Still Life of Yesteryear

I don't have many pieces of artwork that I created from childhood and adolescence. Since the age of 18 I found myself moving frequently, and inevitably loosing some of my portfolio folders and sketchbooks in the many moves, or lost to environmental damage. Although drawing since a child, Art Classes in High School, Junior College, and College, really helped fine tune my skill, providing me with the knowledge of various artistic techniques.

I recently found a few portfolio folders that contained some of my Still Life Drawings from High School Art Class, and from a beginning drawing class that I took in Junior College... 
I found the contrast between my work from the two classes very interesting. 
Here, to the left, is a Still Life Drawing that I rendered in Charcoal, while in High School. The Second drawing, to the right, is similar in subject matter, a Still Life Drawing of a bottle gourd, also in Charcoal, but was completed about three years later, while I was in Junior College.
​Quite an improvement in dimension and shading I would say!

While taking that beginning art course in Junior College, students would draw for 4 hour sessions, practicing the techniques we were taught that week. My professor would play Blondie's Greatest Hits, set up mannequins, suitcases, gourds, old gas cans, and other interesting objects, in the middle of the room, while all the students spent hours just drawing the items that we saw. We practiced shading the contrast of light and shadows. 

Here are a few drawings that I still have from that class that I drew of the mannequins my professor had. These are still a few of my favorite drawings. Maybe one day I will frame them and hang them in a dressing room. In the mean time, Enjoy!

#Inktober 2017

Hello Readers!
Welcome back to my Blog!


​Today I would like to share with you my experience this past fall, when I put my illustration skills to use, by completing 31 ink drawings, in what is known as #Inktober, an artistic social media illustration challenge. Each day, during the month of October, artists complete one ink drawing, then post the drawing online, using the hashtag #Inktober. 

​The creator of this drawing challenge, is Mr. Jake Parker, an artist who came up with the idea, in 2009, when setting the goal for himself to improve his inking skills and drawing habits. ​

According to Jake's website (www.mrjakeparker.com), "Anyone can do Inktober, just pick up a pen and start drawing."

Last year, in 2016, my artistically gifted husband, Javier Rangel, participated in #Inktober, by challenging himself to create an ink drawing each of the 31 days. This past October, Javier began to hashtag his ink drawings with #Inktober again, and I too became inspired to try to challenge myself to draw more!
I have been drawing ever since I was a kid. As the years past by, and my education of Art and Art Techniques advanced, my drawing skills advanced as well. After studying Fashion Illustration in Fashion Design College, I began to fine tune my drawing skills in body proportion, drawing clothing details, and rendering human faces.

While participating in #Inktober 2017, I did not follow the given prompts by #Inktober's Official Website (shown above), but instead focused my illustrations primarily on Fashion! I mostly used recent issues of Vogue for inspiration, although there are a few sketches inspired elsewhere.

I truly loved participating in the #Inktober Challenge of drawing each and every day throughout the month of October. I found it most challenging to simply find the time during my day to draw. However, as the days passed by, I noticed my rusty inkmenship and shading techniques improve, as well as other areas I drastically need improvement on! I have always needed more practice drawing woman's faces!

Nevertheless, I hope that you enjoyed viewing my #Inktober Illustrations!
​Please feel free to share with me your experiences if you too participated in #Inktober by writing a comment, and sharing with me your Instagram Page link! I would love to see your work!
​Or let me know which illustrations of mine you enjoyed the most!
Thank you for reading my blog, and have an INKtastic day!

My Sewing Journal: Creating a Minoan Inspired Hand-Painted Skirt

8/31/2015

Minoan Inspired Illustration by Roxanne Rodriguez, 2013.
While studying Art History in college, I was continually inspired by art works of the past to create fashion of the future. Today, fashion influenced by art is a familiar concept. The examples of art and fashion in Fashion's Modern History is plentiful. Looking back, Elsa Schiaparelli collaborated with Salvador Dali in 1939, creating several Haute Couture pieces, including her famous Lobster Dress, worn by Wallace Simpson (The Duchess of Windsor). In 1965, Yves St. Laurent created a couture collection inspired by the fine-art work of Piet Mondrian. Recently, popular clothing e-commerce retailer, ModCloth, has created dresses inspired by Vincent VanGogh, with his famous Starry Night Painting printed on the fabric. ​

Examples of Minoan Frescoes
As I learned about the ancient Minoan Culture, which was located on the island of Crete, now in modern day Greece, I became inspired by the lovely Minoan Frescoes that were depicted in my history book. The beautiful hues of blue, brown, and gold, alongside stark black and red, were striking and distinctive...

The word fresco, is an Italian word that means 'fresh'. The term fresco refers to an art work where the artist has used water based pigment applied to the plaster on a wall  while the plaster is still wet. As the plaster dries, the paint that has penetrated the plaster becomes fixed, or bonded to the wall. Frescoes were popular in the ancient world, and were quite common for painting large murals during the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci, used this method while creating The Last Supper, as did Michelangelo while painting the Sistine Chapel. 

Here are a few examples of Minoan Frescoes that I found to be quite beautiful, and inspiring:

Conceptualization 
One course that I took in college was called, Survey of Historic Costume. During this course, students studied each era of Western Culture, focusing on the fashion of that time period, and the Zeitgeist (The Spirit of the Times) that influenced that particular  fashion. I found the course material fascinating, as well as the assignments. 

One regularly occurring assignment required us to choose an artwork from the historic period we were studying. After choosing an art work, we were then required to replicate that art work in our own artistic rendition. Then, we were to create a fashion illustration inspired by that art work. While studying The Bronze Age, I chose the Minoan Fresco of women (depicted above), as my inspiration. I then drew this fashion illustration of Minoan Inspired Swimwear.

Creating a Minoan Inspired Hand-Painted Skirt 
Later on, in my college career, I decided to create an article of clothing inspired by the Minoan Fresco of the women, for my final project in Art History Class. For this project we were asked to create something inspired by the Art History we had learned about during the semester. The options were endless. Some students who were working towards a degree in Graphic Design decided to recreate historical artworks through their use of photography, while I myself wanted to re-create an artwork using my education in fashion. I decided instead of creating the Minoan Inspired Swimsuit I had illustrated previously, I would create a Hand-Painted Minoan Inspired Skirt. 

To create this look, I first assembled the front panels of the skirt, made of canvas, and then, laying the fabric flat, I Hand-Painted the Minoan Inspired design using Fabric Paint. I then layered a sheer aqua blue Organza over the painted canvas to create dynamic dimension. I wanted the final look of the skirt to be just as striking as the Minoan Fresco that had inspired me. 

Check out the photos I took as I Hand-Painted, free-handedly, my rendition of the Minoan Woman:

I hope that you enjoyed this Blog Post about my fashion inspiration, and creating a Hand-Painted Minoan Inspired Skirt! I was very pleased with the final result, and have since used the technique of hand-painting motifs on other outfits I have created. 

I would love to hear your feedback, on my Blog Post, my skirt, or what historical art has inspired you. Leave me a comment below!
