Etsy Love - Bubble Fusion

Cyber pimp harness by Bubble Fusion

From now on every week I will do an 'Etsy Love' post, focusing on one of my favourite etsy shops.

So my first one its the very talented Bubble Fusion!
Bubble Fusion sells amazing cyber / rave clothing and accessories all in amazing bright colours! Very unique and can be custom made to your own specifications.

I personally own a couple of pieces from Bubble Fusion and they are really well made, and comfortable to wear.
So go check out the Bubble Fusion Etsy shop, you will not be disappointed :)

Hair Pretties

Apart from making dread extensions and falls I also have another love for making other hair pretties! Hair clips & bows, which go great with dreads or natural hair.
I personally have a treasure trove of different hair clips, bows and bands, and I never seem to have enough!
So on my Etsy shop you will find many cute, colourful and occasionally spooky additions to add to your hair!

A popular item in my shop is the 'Giant Button Hair Clip', which is available in lots of different colours. I also recently added a version with added sparkle! Both of which have been tried & tested by the lovely alternative model Laura Aurora.

There is also a range of super cute heart hair clips, available in pastel and neon colours. If you see one you like but would like it in your own colour choice, please feel free to contact me via etsy or e-mail.

Taking some time out

Unfortunately I will not be taking on custom orders for the next few months  (I will post here when I am again).
If we are already in convo about your order this doesn't apply :)
I am currently finishing up some big orders and my supply room is close to bursting. So I am going to take some time out to work on pre-made dreads and get everything organised again.

There is lots of jewellery & hair accessories available to buy on my etsy shop, which will be open as usual.

Dreads, ready to go!

This week I have listed a couple of sets of pre-made dreads on my etsy shop. Meaning these dreads are made and ready to be sent out to you straight away!

The first set is a full double ended dread kit of crochet dreads in browns & reds. Click HERE to see the etsy listing.

The second set is an accent kit of double ended dreads in blends of purples. Click HERE to see the etsy link.

I am currently working on a set of single ended blonde dreads which will hopefully be available by the end of the week and there are lots more to come! :)

Stocking up the 'ol shop

Over the past couple of months I have been super busy working on custom dread orders.
Here are just a couple of the sets I have been working on.

I will be open for custom orders again in April/ May, but will post here & on Facebook when I do :)

I've now just got a  few odds and ends to finish up, and then I will be starting working on pre-made dreads to stock up my etsy shop.

What colours / lengths/ styles of dreads do you want to see available to buy on my etsy store?

All About me :)

Over the last couple of years I, Black Sunshine, have gained a few more followers via here, Facebook  Etsy etc. And I am very grateful for all of your support :)

So I though I would use today's post to tell you a some more about me and my business.

I started Black Sunshine back in 2004 as a mail order 'shop' selling Gothic  alternative clothing. I received no funding or back up, although not through lack of trying.
A year later in 2005 I was lucky enough to rent a a bricks and mortar shop in Newport on the Isle of Wight. However in 2011 I decided to close my shop, due to the financial climate and general decline of 'real life' shopping.

While I was still at my shop I occasionally sold my handmade items (and my mums) and in 2005 I started to make synthetic dreads. So when I did close I decided to sell my handmade goods on-line, which I still do today,

Black Sunshine is still run just by little old me. Black Sunshine is my full time job and I love it. But I could not do it without the support of my family, close friends and of course, you guys :)

So if I do take a a day or so to reply to your e-mail or I am not open for custom orders please understand I am just a one girl army :)

An Etsy Treat!

For the rest of January all of you in the UK can get free p&p with the code FREEUK at my etsy shop.

I will be adding some new items over the next week :)
