Celebrate the holidays in style with this fun and festive green fedora. The hat band looks like a candy cane – and after the holidays, you can retexture with any tileable or horizontal textures you have. Change the band and wear it for St Patrick’s Day, too.

Prepare to be astounded. No, really, sit down or you’ll fall over laughing. This last one is in comparison to one of the sculpted walkways Linda Kellie left in a texture pack in one of my OARS: And this is why I felt compelled to get off my ass and make something, anything, in Blender last night: The original path sculpt map won’t even rez, this is an almost identical one. LOD is good – much better than for my crappy fedora hat (which I will eventually finish or redo from scratch). Meanwhile some exported prim builds that I have…
A few weeks ago, I started to write an entry. I left it unfinished for so long, because my mood lately has been so… unsettled. I wrote: So, weirdly, the Steelhead sims were still up last night, so I went in and rode a bike around for a while, and played with Tobias Catmow’s steampunk tanks; his shop was down the street from Dhughan’s, which he burned “for the insurance” for the official closing. That’s been a month ago. I haven’t checked today but the Marshal of Steelhead (the community continues) says the sims are queued for deletion. Most stuff…
It’s my rezzday today, I’m clearing out stuff. Old stuff. Steelhead St Helens is going away, the Steelhead sims are going away, but somehow they’re still up. I don’t know how long they’ll be here. I’ve “lived†here for 5 years. Visit this location at Settlement 601 – St Helens Dry Goods Frontier Supplies in Second Life This isn’t optimal… Flickr removed the ability to blog directly, although it may be possible to send via email. Also I can embed manually, but I used to be able to just “share to WordPress blog” easily, using a template that was all…
After a long time away from my inworld home and friends, I made it back in time for bon temps in St John Parish. The party was held in the Maison Bleu club, hosted by the inimitable DJ Holocluck. The music was terrific and the typist got up and danced. I will be working on some new projects – sadly, I won’t be participating in STEAM X as a merchant, but happily I will be a hunter! I just felt I needed to improve my building skills, and I’ve taken a vow during Lent to try to do something toward…

Hey! I got some press! Whaddya know! SL Newser image link The third shop on Steelhead is the dry goods shop found at Settlement 601 – St Helens Dry Goods Frontier Supplies, Steelhead St Helens (68, 156, 38). St. Helens Dry Goods is Shop #117 in the Hunt. They offer a very good cup of expresso to visitors, which I enjoyed while I looked around. They have all the items you might expect in a dry goods store, including a little furniture, some lamps, a variety of hats, and even gentlemen’s walking sticks. Plan to spend a few minutes looking…
I’ve joined a couple of marketing groups and have realized that I need to update some of my branding, so I went looking for images to adapt that had no copyright issues. Look at this darling Steampunk Chameleon I found on Flickr! According to the terms of the license, it’s Attribution/Share-Alike, so thank you, Saundra, for this beautifully inspiring little piece, which exists in the real world. So this is what I have for the moment: It’s not the final version but it was enjoyable playing around with GIMP’s filters (mostly GIMPressionist/Line Art and Render/Difference Clouds. I don’t know what…
I haven’t had very much to do with marketing groups; I belong to a Victorian shopkeepers one that’s kind of invitation only, but haven’t quite gotten my role updated to “can send notices of new products to the group” yet. But I might make myself a big fat TO-DO list on that, because last night I experienced the power of marketing to the right group of potential customers. I have set up a vendor with the (currently just two) Dinkies-sized hats at the Dinkies Village at SOMA Design School – it’s a nice little hangout with play areas, dance ball,…
I’d been wearing a resized version of the velvet hat with my DINKIES kitty avatar and having so much fun, I had to put it out there for other Dinkies to enjoy. Also, check out my “Chameleonic Possessions” group on Flickr – I’ll upload preview images of products I’m working on there, and also the best images of some of my existing products. I’m hoping that if people join it they’ll upload photos of themselves having fun with the stuffs. I even added an arty style photo. Now DINKIES Kitties can has a texture change top hat! The textures on…
