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. My family and I had a lovely time attending the Art Show Reception and gazing intently at all of the amazing artworks on display. Here are some of my favorite photos from the 2024 Oakdale Spring Art Show and Reception: Artist James Tracey took home many First Prize Ribbons, and you can see why! Tracey, happily shows me some of his artistic techniques when creating these fabulous artworks. Artist, Shari Borba was awarded First Place in the Digital Art Category with her Enchanted Cottage Scullery.

In the Fashion Design Workroom: The Making of a Doily Dress 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! Thank you for taking the time to read about my experience creating a new dress out of doilies and my participating in the 2024 Oakdale Spring Art Show! Related Links:
