A bit of news...
Wow, a new blog update!! Its been a while (again) and there's a bit to cover, but basically I'm working away as usual, making my jewellery and trying to sell it to as many people as possible.
So, where to start? Well, there's the Rock N Roll Markets, which were going ok down at Tempe and I was enjoying selling my wares (pic from some time late last year)
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the markets were put on hold, but the good news is that, as of last week they're back and at a bigger and better venue at Sydney Uni. The first one back was a success, even if the weather was a bit ordinary.
Great atmosphere, fantastic music in the Manning Bar, some awesome stalls and lots of people! Cant wait for the next one - August 12th.
A few months back (actually quite a few months back) I did a little photoshoot to do some promo stuff for my line of guys accessories. Dan from Hawleywoods Barbershop was kind enough to supply the venue and the "models". Here's a couple of pics:
Having the guys range was definately a good idea and its been getting plenty of interest.
Speaking of photoshoots, I'll be looking into doing another one soonish. Its been quite a while since the last shoot with Missy that resulted in the pics I'm currently using in ads and flyers and Ive got a couple of ideas in mind.
This ad will be in the next issue of Fiend and I'll also be putting one in Solitude very soon.
Back in spring last year I put out a wholesale catalogue that i made available to my stockists and to a couple of retailers I was trying to add to my list of stockists. Turned out to be a good idea, especially as many items in the catalogue differ from what I sell through my site. Win for everyone! So, along with Red Stripe, Visage N Vice, Gallery Serpentine, Sydney Derby Skates and Faster Pussycat, Im also now stocked by Hoolahoop and....biggest news so far...BESERK!!
Next thing on the cards is an overhaul of both the web store and wholesale catalogue with some new pieces. I've got plenty of ideas and I'm working away on creating as many new pieces as possible to add to both (catalogue and website). Hopefully I'll have everything ready to go by the end of June. I'm actually having a sale for the whole month to try and clear some stock and get ready for the new bits and bobs. So (shameless promo plug) if you're up for a bargain, head to my site Debstar Designs - everything is reduced by 25%.
I think that about covers it since the last update although I've probably forgotten to mention plenty. No doubt I'll continue being slack with keeping this blog updated (seems to be the case since I started doing this), so just keep an eye on my Debstar Facebook updates to stay in the loop. So thanks for reading, thanks to my followers, friends, customers and everyone who has helped out along the way including Danie from Femme Fatale. Lots more to do to achieve world domination!!
