Debra Dorgan

                             Hi there,

​

             Welcome to DebraDorgan.com.

​

 I'm Debra, the designer and creator of AllThingsPretty,   online since 2005. I sold on Etsy for 16 years until early   2023.

​

 My home is in beautiful Brisbane, tropical Queensland,   Australia. I am originally from England, UK, with   interesting roots. 

 I am a free-spirited, empathic soul and a collector of   vintage and antique textiles. Antique lace and old   global embroideries started my passion and interest   in textiles, both old and new. Recycling garments is   part of my work ethic. 

 Over the years I have worked in several mediums   including hairdressing, glass fusing, metals, wire, clay,   paper and painting, to name a few! At present, I am   designing and making clothes, jewellery and home   wares from a combination of  some of the above   mediums. I belong to a lapidary club and play the steel   pan in a Caribbean Steel band.

​

 I am currently working on paintings, silversmithing,   clothing, jewellery, figurines, crafting kits and a few   other things in the pipeline. I like to encourage and   help people of all ages to build on their appreciation   of arts and crafts which can help enable people to find   common ground in the community, have fun and         encourage new friendships with kindness. 

​

                              Love Debra
