Gothabilly Glam - Debstar Designs

Greetings, dear fellow darklings. I hope you are all well.

This evening, allow me to introduce you to a fabulous Australian alternative jewellery designer, who is not only wickedly talented, but a lovely lady to boot. Meet Deb, the Gothabilly gal behind Debstar Designs

Based in Sydney, Deb has been creating costume jewellery for the alternative market for some time now. She draws her inspiration from "the unusual, the strange, the kooky and kreepy and the downright weird, featuring icons classically associated with cultures including Rockabilly, Gothabilly, Psychobilly, Goth and Horror."

Debstar Designs often has a stall at the Sydney Rock & Roll Alternative Market, and will be setting up for the next one on September 14.

If you're heading to the market, keep an eye out for her gorgeous green coffin display case, and these recently-created matching display frames:

Following Debstar Designs on Facebook and Instagram is a great idea if, like me, you don't live in Sydney and therefore can't get to the market stall, as she often posts one-off items for purchase that are not available through her website. Below is one such example - Deb posted this fellow gothic flamingo on Instagram last week, now here he is on my coffee table. :)

And some new favourites, currently available on the Debstar Designs website:

I might just have to book a trip up to Sydney around September 14. :) Love your work, Deb!

    1. Ha! I rather enjoyed seeing my cousin too, particularly in the company of such a fabulous lady :D

      The spider brooch is gorgeous isn't it? That and The Munsters necklace are my absolute favourites! The only thing better than owning them would be owning a green coffin to store them in ;)

    1. Why thank you my dear Emma! I think all of my cousins are rather gorgeous, but I assumed I was just biased :D

      It is all fab isn't it?! I love all of Deb's pieces, but that spiderweb necklace - *swoons*!
