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.
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…
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…
Just in time for Mardi Gras, but stylish any time – change the look to go with any outfit. Give to friends, change the texures, and nobody’s got the same chapeau on. Laissez les bon temps roulez with this fun texture-changing Steampunk medicine-show hat. Folder also includes a flight HUD script to add after resizing your hat. Wear this hat for Mardi Gras, or change the textures for year-round style. Add your own if you…
Simple four-panel Asian style 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.
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…
Fun fact: as I’m interested in Japanese culture, steam powered rail, AND I’m a Second Life (SL) resident it amuses me to stumble onto this: the slang or colloquial term for “steam train in Japanese is “esu eru” which is a transliteration of the letters “SL” which probably stand for “steam locomotive” in English. Weird, but fun, right? SL esu eru, short for steam locomotive – steam train The hiragana (Japanese syllabary characters used for…

Blue “Chagall” Glass Wall Fountain with scripted sounds on/off and volume controls. You can reduce the sounds to 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 volume as well as mute by touching the glass.

Finally had a chance to stop whingeing and Get Things Done. The Crystal Egg Floor Lamp and Desk Lamp Set – direct from the extraordinary STEAM 7 hunt! The tripod object can be used as a lamp – click to turn the lamp on and off. You may see something mysterious happening… look closely. Peer into it from different angles. What is that? The transparencies bug may bite, peer closely and from a distance until…
