Hello my deadly nightshades,

Alas it has been a long while since my last post! The reason being, is that I've been away on holidays, so it has taken me some time to readjust to real life... haha!

Anyways, just a quick one for now... been inspired by a lot of beauty products lately, namely false eyelashes and liquid eyeliner, which I know, is nothing new (except to me)!! Thank goodness for the opening of discount Japanese goods stores like Daiso and Tokuya, I am going to explore these new products and may post some pictures if they turn out well ^^ (and others too)

I also bought, on a whim, a cute black top hat fascinator to go with my black velvet jersey dress which I bought in H&M, whilst I was on holidays. Hopefully I shall be able to wear my new ensemble in the next anime convention (or costume party!) along with my signature black headdress! xD

I shall be creating some more cute / gothic designs soon, so keep an eye out!!

Yours lovingly in darkness,
~Frejya

SMASH - Stellar Success!!

Hello there my darling deadly night shades!

First, thank you to those of you who visited my stall last Saturday 14th July at the Sydney Convention Centre. I hope you enjoyed your time at the Sydney Manga and Anime Show just as much as I did! xD

Special thanks to those who dropped by and purchased something from me (Frejya) - I do hope you'll treasure these items that were all lovingly handmade by yours truly. I designed each item as a one-off piece so they are all unique! ^^

My friends from Romance Noir (http://www.romancenoir.com/) and Paper Panda also shared my stall, so if you're interested in seeing more of their handmade designs, be sure to check on the links on this page (Paper Panda link will be updated soon!)

You may be interested to know that I shall be holding an online stall very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for it!

Many thanks for your support, as always ^^

Until next time,

Frejya xox

Yes, these were handmade (by yours truly)

Just to show you how I've progressed over the months (about 6-7 months ago), below are some photos of my first attempt at making miniature cookie cakes... what a difference experience makes!!

PS- these ones are not for sale this weekend at SMASH... sorry!!

My latest Choco-Hana collection of handmade felt accessories... the mobile phone straps have detachable accessories where you can hang them on your necklace, pencial case, zipper or wherever you like!

Also shown is a cookie badge and heart cookie hair barette...

I'll be sharing my booth, Frejya x Romance Noir with my other designer friends, so I hope to see you this Saturday 14th July at the Sydney Exhibition Centre!

Yours truly,

A Touch of Blue

One of my unique creations, complete with hand made ribbon rose for an elegant finish :)

Adding the Finishing Touches...

Hello again my darling deadly nightshades!

As SMASH is a only month away, I have been crazily busy adding the final touches to this year's collection of headdresses. There will be 8 new black designs, along with some pink and blue ones from previous years.

The image above is the first to be completed- all 100% hand made and designed - I do hope you like it!

Along the way, I have also been busy creating some new felt cake mobile phone straps, two of them are shown below! (A few more are in the making):

Two mobile phone straps from my new Choco~Hana collection: Cookies & Creme (Left) and Chocolate Heart (Right)

Hopefully this year it will be a stellar success!! Depending on how things go, this may be my last year holding a stall at SMASH (haha)... it's just that I am so terribly time poor >_< So tired...

I do hope you will continue supporting me nonetheless, especially if you'll be in Sydney on Sat 14th July! ^^

Until next time!!~
