Taking October Off ::

I will not be vending the Cirque Du Burlesque Viva this friday.  I am also taking the entire month of October off from vending live shows.  I need a break.  I've been going at break neck speed for so long that I've forgotten how to relax.

Well now I'm doing that.  I will still be doing custom orders and client meetings but that's about it.  I will be back to vending in November.  So if you go to Viva Dallas Burlesque you will get to peruse and purchase sparklies again in November.  I believe that there may be a Cirque Du Burlesque show that month as well.  If so then I'll be there vending as well.

Art Love Latex Fundraiser :: Thank You!

Now that things have calmed down for more than a minute... Thank you to everyone who came out to the Art Love Latex show at The Church last sunday.  The entire thing went of perfect thanks to it's organizers.  Much money was raised for Art For Latex which was the entire purpose.  So I would say that it was a bonafide success.  In the end it was a much needed rounding up of the community to help support and show needed love to one of it's members.  Thank you again.

Art Love Latex Fundraiser ::

Don't forget One Star Designs will be here on sunday.  It's to help Artwith Latex (Kurt Molhusen and his family) with their terrible personal loss.  Come out and help support an amazing man who's always been there for us all.  This is a chance to not only support a part of your local scene but a family that has a desperate need.  Help us show him just how much we deeply love him.

More Coming To The "Sweet Tooth" Series ::

People have been asking me what new lines will be coming to the "Sweet Tooth Creations". Well one of the new things coming are .... MACAROONS! Yeppers in a short amount of time you will be able to purchase these lovelies from One Star Designs.

If You Don't Sparkle Then How Will You Stand Out?

Now I know a lot of this is because I'm a jeweler... but why do so many models do shoots without sparklies? I understand why you may be naked but why are your ears? I say the same thing to burlesque performers... Putting on something that is gorgeously sparklie doesn't detract from your overall look ladies... it adds to it. It's the period on your sentence. That final sparkle that says "remember me because you'll never find another like me".

One Star Designs Join TnT Burlesque ::

If you are military make sure to talk to the ticket people. You will get a raffle ticket and a chance to win some of these sparklie goodies! :) Who doesn't want free sparklies.

Temporary Issues :: Finishing The Rewards

Due to my multitude of auto-immune diseases and then my trusty jeweler pliers breaking, I am a wee bit behind on finishing the rewards.  I have officially gotten past the halfway point on mailing out rewards to you lovely donors.


I am still attempting to find a good pair of pliers.  So many to choose from and yet so many of them are sub-par.  I refuse to use a tool that will not allow me to get a tight loop next to the bead.  That is the only way you can guarantee a good close fit.  Without that you risk easily breaking your sparklies and that is a no-no in my book.

So in closing, I have not forgotten about the rest of you.  Truly I will not!  I have a list of people that need their reward sparklies sitting at my desk to constantly remind me.  I am just in a pause mode until I can locate a decent pair of jeweler pliers.  (read:  not cheap and crappy pliers but cheap and good is always helpful.)

OSD's Burlesque Line Continues To Shine ::

Miss Vivienne Vermuth (@vforvermuth) wearing a gorgeous One Star Designs swarovsky sparkly necklace creation during her performance last week at Open Stage on Monday.  The necklace is made up of large faceted and smaller rounded swarovsky beads.  The beads are a gorgeous pale blue shade with a unique peacock ab glaze.   So depending on what colors she chooses to wear or how the light reflects off the beads, you can see a myriad of colors ranging from blues, violets and greens. 

What Length Do You Prefer ::

Now please keep in mind this is a general diagram.  If you are taller, shorter .... etc... this may not apply.  But this can give you a general idea about necklace lengths.  As always, I always properly measure you to see what fit works best for you.

Possible Addition To Our Inventory ::

I may have found a supplier that I like.  If so then I may be adding Hypoallergenic stainless steel adjustable rings to my inventory.  I didn't want to use base metals because they are not the best quality, in my opinion.  I wanted to only put something out there that ANYONE can use.  I don't want some of my clients limited in what they can purchase.  Just doesn't seem fair to me.  So if the quality is up to my standards ... then you may be seeing rings as an addition to my inventory.  I'll let you know once I've made a decision.  I have to order a sample order and test them out first.  Only then can I decide if it's an option at this time.
