The Dog Show...



JoeysCoat is honored to join 14 Vashon Artists
in this month's Vashon Allied Arts Gallery Show 
celebrating "the Dog".

 Join us at the Opening Reception, 
Friday, January 10, 6 - 9 pm, 
for a first glimpse of the JoeysCoat designs Dana has created for this special Show.



Norman is modeling "Seal" -
made from a vintage "sealskin" patterned velour women's overcoat found at a Seattle thrift store. The coat is lined with windowpane plaid cotton flannel and bound with a poly/metallic brocade vintage necktie. The belt and tab are printed velvet with ultra-suede and cotton flannel liners.  The belt loops and trim are antique metal Gimp discovered at a flea market.  The generous Abalone belt buckle is another flea market find.  The beautiful see-thru "horn" plastic with gold metal filigree buttons are recycled from a mink coat and attached with back buttons to allow for movement.  The buttonhole is hand-stitched with silk thread.  The coat is finished with a "gem cut" gold metal button on the top.

"Seal" is one of five inspired new JoeysCoat designs that will be on display at The Dog Show.

See you there!
