American Indian style comes to Dragon Charm Designs

Some of you may know that I spend some of my time with good friends that have adopted me as family on Spirit Nations American Indian themed sim. This has inspired me to create a range of jewellery based on the Navajo style.


These 3 chokers are the first in the new collection and come with Mod and Trans permissions. The wood and turquoise beaded choker has a silver pendant with turquoise and carnelian stones, one set on a black base. Each bead and stone are individual prims hand placed to give the slight unevenness true to hand-made jewellery Dragon Charm Designs is known for.

These are only available at my stall on the Spirit Nations sim:http://slurl.com/secondlife/Spirit%20Nations/16/230/23

The return of the worlds worst blogger

Yes I admit I can't blog for toffee but I give it a go. I gave up on this blog back in January due to no followers which gave my pretty much non existent ego a battering, this has been followed by the stores not making any sales in about a month.

I'm a new face in a flooded market and it's hard to break into this when there are so many people taking short cuts and selling crap, it tends to put people off trying new stores when there are so many amazing popular designers out there. I spend a great deal of time on each and every one of my creations making sure I place every prim as precisely as possible and trying to add as much tiny detail as I can within prim linking limits hence the amount of time between releases. The one thing I can be proud of is that the few sales I have made have never had a single complaint and that makes it worthwhile.

So what have I been up to since the last post? Lots of background stuff, mainly attempting to get the name out to the public, with virtually no success I must admit, but with the general guidance of my good friend Tracy Rubble of **Trubble** I am trying a different strategy so fingers crossed.
This was my last release they are Leather chokers with a silver pendant and available in 8 designs which can be brought individually or as a set at a discounted price. They go with so much especially if you have the complete set, there's one for most occasions. There is also one of the chokers in the new Midnight Mania boards and only need 20 people to sign up to get it for free, I'll be changing the item roughly every month so keep visiting to make sure you don't miss out.

So where am I taking Dragon Charm Designs in the future? I'm currently working on a new Navajo Indian collection which will only be available on the Spirit Nations sim, I'm going through the thought processes of a few exclusives and maybe some limited editions. There is also a line of parent and child jewellery in the pipeline inspired by my sister due to give birth to a baby girl very soon and she's planning on taking this to the next level of having a child avi daughter when the time comes. So there is lots going on in the background and more in the design process waiting for me to build....watch this space...
