We have added Brass Bullet Spikes and 1" Tree Spikes to our inventory. Brass hardware has been in the back of our mind since the get-go, and it just took the suggestion from our friend Dan at Xcentricities Corsets, that people into the Steam Punk aesthetic might be into it to get us cranking on a couple initial products. Take a look at them below.
"Rock the Ink Albuquerque" was a lot of fun. There were thousands of people there and we had lots of people coming by the booth to check us out. We had lots of positive feedback and ended up with a long list of ideas and suggestions. We really appreciate all of the enthusiasm for our products that people showed.
A couple of issues:
We had a whole lot of these comments: "what is that stuff for?" and "wow, those are really sharp."
Let me take the second one first. Yes, most of our stuff does have a somewhat dramatic point on it, and while I doubt it's going to cause injury just hanging off of your belt or jacket, I wouldn't try to wear it onto an airplane. We do file the sharp edge off of our products and do not intend in any way for them to be used to cause harm to others.(I dont know how many people picked up one of our rings to see how it would feel sticking through the fingers of their clinched fist as some sort of gouging instrument.) Come on people....
As far as people not understanding immediately what the products are for, that is something we need to work on. Basically the products are spikes and D rings and are used for all the things spikes and D rings are used for. We plan to have a mannequin with us at future events to model the hardware, and hopefully that will help.
Thanks again for your interest in GPSH and please keep the product requests, thoughts and ideas coming in, Ben Clark - Owner/designer
