Dirt Road Designs - ESA Mid Atlantic Regional Sponsor

I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Deanna and I surf and live in Maine and am a NEW sponsor for the ESA Mid Atlantic Regional Surf Competition! Always looking to surf new and exciting places. I started surfing in Long Island NY about 14 years ago, then moved to VA and have settled for the last 8 years in Maine.

I have recently opened my own jewelry business and have a surfing collection called "The Barrel's" Collection. I decided to become a sponsor for ESA with hopes to better reach surfing communities all over!

I am looking just to get honest feedback on my work from the surfing community! So, critique away!!

Why is it the wrong crowd? Just curious and what do you mean by "casual shopper"?

 

Thanks MRCOOP!

JCHAFARD- I may not be a professional surfer but I have been surfing for 15 years and it is a huge part of my life, as is creating jewelry. I am sorry if you think differently but artists are inspired by the things they love whether they are greatest or the worst at them.

 

Thanks! Wearing a necklace when you are not used to it is definitely something that takes time The "Double Barrel" is the better one for a chain because it has a smaller opening. Thanks for your feedback maybe I will show them on my site with chains, so people can visualize it with different options.

 

I can make anything you want.. I just need more details. Shoot me a comment on my website www.dirt-road-designs.com

 

I agree it is a bit confusing the way I describe it because I say "right wave crashing and left wave crashing" but you surf in the opposite direction .... I will have to ponder a different way to say this Thanks

 

hahaha, I thought of that when I was doing research, it would be another way to market it though!. Question, where did you see it called "no sharks"? I changed the name to surfer's amulet a while ago and would like to know so I could change it. and thanks!

 

NYNJ & JChafford - I am sorry if you think I was getting defensive. I am open to criticism, there have been a few other people that have critiqued my work on this forum and I did not snap back. I just feel that when you start a comment.. Honestly? It can be read with a condescending tone. I would like to know why you think these pieces scream out "I surf" again just curious, I have worn a few around that I have made and not many people even associated with surfing directly. They are waves... I didn't make "I heart surfing" pendants...

 

No, you are probably right, when I switched everything I forgot to re name the file.
