ASOM Designs: Vending Experience

So we had our first vending experience this week. For @TheJoLoExperience 1 year Anniversary event, Jo had asked me if I wanted to set up and sell some earrings. Of course I wasn't going to say no. So I spoke to the other K's aka the The Team about it and they said sure. The ladies and i worked on getting the peices together. I didnt bring the whole inventory and i did rock some Afro Pick Earrings reserved fro the onine shop....

The event was nice and it was a great turnout, the performers were asweome and i have a love for the band School Ov Thought, especially Ishmael Levy... his voice OMG! Their rendition of the Bob Marley song "Could you Be Loved" inspired a future valentines piece, pin, necklace/earring, t-shirt design lol

Lydia Ceasar, JoLo, Urica Rose, Mo Brown... Great Performers, Beautiful  Ladies

Anywho...

We have a facebook page and up and an instagram.. that doesnt look like much but you know its out there. I didnt take much pictures at the event. I interacted more with everyone that came up but friends that were there and photographers did for me.. i just need them to put it up.. like now! lol

It was a learning experience: Next time i know to have some candies on the table, more business cards, A MIRROR! and change, a better looking price list, the official banner, and knowledge of the adinkra symbols.

I cant wait til we get the tshirt and mens line going!!!!

if you cant tel im excited for the future, orders are coming in.. glad to see our hard work, determination, and perserverance starting to pay off!

But check us out, like the page... go through the pics

ASOM Designs Update

So if you dont know.. ASOM Designs is a handpainted wooden accessories (earrings, necklaces, pins) that i have been working on for the past year. Originally it was supposed to be knit & crochet berets large enough to fit a naturals fro, but i switched over to earrings at some point when i bought from MoonRae jewelry and found out where she bought her supplies (thanks Samantha!!!)

Right..

So last christmas i did a few for fam & bday gifts just to see how everything would work out and it did fine. Everyone liked their earrings (even if they dont where them often) Right so now im getting into more colors and symbols and styles. and so far i have special order requests already! i love that everyone is supporting me even if i keep pushing back the online site some.

But its for a good cause.. I have  friend that's a Radio Host/DJ at my alumni school (Hunter College) who is having her one year anniversary show/party and asked me if i wanted to be a vendor for the show....

::screams::

Im so flipping excited the show is two days away and i have been painting like crazy since then.. well not really, had a bit of a lazy streak after i had my tooth pulled thursday, but yea, ive been painting like crazy since saturday night lol...

Even Krys (MochaNapps) came by!

We did these necklaces (still working on the cords) that are made according to krobo bead... they were made in Africa, glass beads & hand painted as well.. it was a feel good buy cause the lady i bought them from told me my order paid for four days of a workers compensation!

so yea, and the things is no two necklaces will ever be the same! even better!!!
