    Hello again, virtual worlds (main website back up)

    May 22, 2013 - By 

    (cross posted from my WordPress.com blog*, creatively titled “Chameleonic Possession) Here I am, on my standalone grid Haleakaloha, which isn’t very interesting and isn’t open for visitors, and up until yesterday, it wasn’t working very well because of a texture-reloading bug. Also, I’ve been struggling with Blender again, trying to learn it and not get discouraged. Yesterday, SUCCESS, after getting some help, I installed an update that fixed my Open Sim grid. Today, SUCCESS, I made a blob. You may not think this is a big deal, and it’s a badly textured blob, but I made it, and I figured…

    Finally, some new stuff for sale in my #SecondLife store

    May 4, 2013 - By 

    I’ve been absent lately from my shop and my group events, owing to a pesky problem with arm and shoulder pain (stupid Real World Problems(tm) anyway). But today I came back with a purpose – my friend Mistletoe opened the Festival of King Richard in Lionheart Ahadi – here’s the SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//181/229/28 There’s storytelling and (I think) some music events planned – here’s Mist enjoying a tale: I managed to get my little booth set up with a few minutes to spare – fortunately most of my products currently can go in various eras. But I managed to quickly put…

    Now That Easter’s Over I Have No Excuse For Procrastinating

    April 2, 2013 - By 

    I’m participating in an Antique hunt that starts on Friday – must check in with the organizer and make sure I’ve got all my stuffs in a row. Here’s what I’ve been working on – I will be adding something to go with it, probably a nice rug made from a new set of tapestry textures I got. It’s derived from the exquisite Duc du Berry’s “Les Tres Riches Heures” manuscript, using the largest images I could find from a copyright-free museum site. I had to work with the images carefully so that they lined up correctly, as the original…

    Dancing with Feesh! Also New Stuffs, Looking Forward To Lantern City, and eh, Wot?

    March 16, 2013 - By 

    It was a lot of fun listening to Krypton Radio tonight, in spite of some technical glitches. They’re going to get to do an interview with Bruce Boxleitner (yes, yes, Captain Sheridan and Tron and all). He has a new project coming out sometime, a Steampunk one at that, and fan friendly as well: Lantern City. Well, this looks like exactly the kind of thing I’d like to watch: The new Steampunk show Lantern City, from executive producer Bruce Boxleitner, is an exciting foray into fan-inspired and fan-created television. It combines first-rate storytelling, innovative production design, and a rich world…

    Antique Grid Show Spring Hunt April 6 – April 21, I Am In You! #SecondLife

    March 10, 2013 - By 

    Thanks to Thaddeus Nadeau, I’ll be participating in the Antique Grid Show Spring Hunt, beginning April 6. I’m excited to be in that hunt, as I had passed on being in STEAM 8. For this one, the scope is limited to “antique” items – but that can mean anything from the 16th century onward, including the Edwardian and Victorian eras. It’s one where the hunt items cost $L10 to buy, but they’re really worth it.

    Folding Mesh Room Screen Dancing Oiran – $L250

    March 10, 2013 - By 

    Whee!! Another new product listed. You have no idea how frustrating it can be to have tons of ideas and lots of great textures, but to be constantly flailing about. I spent hours, for instance, the other night goofing around with a truly dumb party hat. But this is something different – it’s mesh, which I’ve never worked with before. It’s from a kit I read about on SLUniverse. If I can figure out the movie software, I’ll try to make a short “product clip” to put online. Animated folding MESH room divider screen adds Asian style and modern flair…

    Antique Bronze Rococco Room Divider – $L50

    March 9, 2013 - By 

    Just listed at the Marketplace: Simple antique room divider or boudoir screen. Semi-transparent, so best if placed in front of a solid textured wall. Works with many different styles of decor and eras. It’s copy/mod/no transfer, so you can take the transparency to 0 and switch it from “phantom” to solid. Keep a backup copy if you edit, though. This is pretty primmy – my next screens are going to exciting, animated MESH, as I cracked loose for a really nice builder’s kit. It’ll be fun texturing it, and I’m going to try to make a short video clip to…

    Category Changes for Second Life Marketplace – Virtual Food Categories NOMNOMNOM

    November 13, 2012 - By 

    An interesting development – Ciaran Laval noted that Second Life Marketplace is running some kind of contest to name new Female Skins subcategories – the prize is $L2489, enough to pay for a month of front page ads. Of more specific interest – some of the things I make (fountains, floor lamps and desk lamps) are going to have their own categories. My friend Mistletoe might possibly be interested in the new expanded Food and Drink categories. Hmm. Recreation and Entertainment/Food and Drink Add “Food”. Under “Food”, add the following: Add “Fruits & Vegetables” Add “Vegetables” Add “Meat, Fowl &…
