Tour de Beadesaurus!

We're off being busy busy again! That's right Beadesaurus are hitting the road and we're currently in preparation for the busiest few weeks ever!

We got back from the amazing day that was Tattoo Freeze on Sunday and have to say a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who attended and to Skin Deep (and their brilliant staff) for creating such an immensely cool day. The entire show was fantastic; friendly atmosphere, amazing tattooists and some great twists on the standard conventions of most conventions with the Roller Derby, cars and art show.

On the 30th and 31st we are off to Brighton for their 3rd convention which also promises to be a blast! We have a giant sized L shape stall right next to Dan Gold and the handtappers in a new central area. I can't wait to be beside the seaside even if it is in a particularly chilly January!

The week after that we're off to London to check out some goodies for you and catch up with our friends.

Then on the 13th we're off to Love Smack in Newark. We're a rather proud sponsor of the Lincolnshire Bombers Roller Girls (alongside Motorhead!) and we have a stand there too. Tickets are available via our Paypal on their website.

Then, the piece de la resistance...on Monday 15th February...WE ARE GOING TO LAS VEGAS! We're very excited! We finally get to meet some of the awesome American suppliers we have bought from for years in the flesh as well as catching up with some of our other Yankee-doodle favourites. Loungefly better look out, we're coming to get them!

Not long after we return we're off to Manchester Convention and then there's pretty much one a month until the Clothes Show comes round again. Phew. We're busy little bunnies at the moment!

At the moment I'm really trying to get some of the older items that we have in the shop up onto the site, such as the alice bands, which are a bugger to photograph but necessary to get up. We've also got a nice big chunk of Lowbrow Art Company goodies up now with most of the new designs online and more to come.

We've got lots planned for this year and next month we'll being to get our Spring/Summer ranges through. It's exciting!

Here's some new stock for you, made oop norf by our maties, with the vintage-style charms cast by themselves and heavier weight than the often flimsy brass bought in from the USA. Nice chunky chains and cheap as chips. Tasty!





That's all for now folks! See you in Brighton!

Happy New Year!

Well, 2009 came and went in a flash! Last year was possibly the most eventful for us so far and 2010 promises to be even bigger.

The Clothes Show was fantastic! It was so nice to get such a great reception and to find out how many people had heard of us. It was potentially the most tiring week of our lives but it was all worth it in the end!

To start 2010 off we have brand new Lowbrow and Toxico which I have been attempting to get online for two weeks now but the 'festivities' (aka Jack Daniels and mulled cider) of Christmas seemed to keep getting in the way! I'm editing pictures inbetween the writing of this and so the majority of the Toxico should be up tonight along with the first half of the Lowbrow (seeing as the other box in the delivery is still finding it's way to us through the UK postal system!).

Here's some sneaky previews:



On January 17th we have a stand at Tattoo Freeze at the Telford International Centre. This is our first convention of the year and will shortly be followed by Brighton on the 30th and 31st. We're mega excited about Brighton mainly due to the pure amount of space we have to fill and simply because Brighton itself is an AWESOME place and we get to spend the weekend at the seaside, albeit in the middle of winter! We're right by Dan Gold and the handtappers as well which should be rather special!

We're doing a lot of shows this year and have a lot of exclusive collaborations coming, exclusive jewellery from some of our favourite artists (and friends!) and the official merchandise for the new Tim Burton Alice In Wonderland film.

This year promises to be bigger than the last, and if it's even half as much fun it'll be one to watch out for! Also, this year holds our 10th birthday, so watch this space for your party invite!

Thanks to all of you who have supported us over the past 12 months and heres to a bigger, better, funner 2010.

Happy new year!
