SMASH! 2011 was a success!

Hello Darlings!

Just a short one from me... Been meaning to write more but my day job has been so incredibly busy, coupled with the fact that I recently sustained some minor injuries and sickness over the last week... =(

Haven't had much chance to sew as much as I liked, but I hope to find some time in the next couple of weekends. All my black headdresses sold out at SMASH! on Sat 16th July, and all of my pinks except one. Have to say am a little disappointed no one bought any of my blue ones, but I'm sure some pretty Alices will find them handy one day =)

On the day, I shared the stall with my friend who makes her own clothing label: Romance Noir. Do look her up the next time you browse the net for some Gothic inspiration! =)

I will upload some more photos later this week when I get the time, so do look forward to it!

Yours faithfully,

Welcome to my first post!

Hello darlings and welcome to my blog site,

Chances are you will have come across this blog as a result visiting my stall "Frejya" at the SMASH convention, 2011, held at the Sydney Convention Centre.

First, thank you all for taking the time to have a browse on my website, I hope it is to your liking (and if you bought a headdress from me, I hope you will treasure it)

A bit about me:

Designing and making gothic lolita headdresses is a recent hobby for me, having been inspired by a good friend of mine who makes beautiful gothic clothing, and it is from her that I purchased my first black gothic lolita headdress. There is something truly mysterious yet elegant in the gothic lolita style which has drawn me to this fascinating form of fashion.

I learnt how to make headdresses from scratch a few years ago, back in the days when I was part of the University of Sydney's anime club in 2007 and 2008. I had used a Japanese craft book as well as my first headdress as a references, and from there I've developed my own interpretation of the design.

All my elegant and goth-punk headdresses are designed by me and handmade right here in Sydney from locally and internationally sourced materials. My sewing isn't quite skilled enough for proper clothing, but I hope to start making clothing and costumes once I get a bit more time from work to practice.

I also enjoy making cute accessories made from felt, which I hope to upload some pictures for your enjoyment.

Maybe I shall see you the next time at a stall or convention, and would love to hear from you otherwise!

Yours faithfully,
Frejya
