    Now She’s Gone And Done Gone Tiny

    O HAI! Bug is here! I maded a dress today. Akshully, I made the skirt a while ago, but decided to start building a whole dress, AND I managed to make my own fabric for it. This is what it looks like so far. I made gingham (on a pixelated LOOM and everything) and added a border with dandy lions on it. It’s very summery because winter is BORING and grey. I have to learn how to do sleeves, these ones don’t move right. They’d be okay for shoulder straps or cap sleeves, though. I safety-pinned everything and went to…

    Schnappy Yooniformz und Nize Hets

    My young ward Bug has been getting in touch with her inner Jaegermädchen. She’s mostly green these days since she went on the Jaegerdraught Hunt and “drank the koolaid.”   Here she is, out on the Steam Hunt 6 course, searching for treasure underwater in a dive helmet kindly provided by one of the hunt merchants. She like snappy uniforms and nice hats. As it happens, my typist took a picture of the very thing that Bug craves: If you look quite carefully, you will of course see that this is a WUMMAN. The men’s version came with a horse.…

    Getting good Body Proportions in Second Life (Bug, Please Take Notes)

    This seems like a good starting point for Bug, who needs to mess with the sliders a bit to make herself look more… like the little red-headed tomboy she’s supposed to be. The bulk of what I’m posting below is my own re-phrasing of a guide posted on the official forums by Penny Patton. The forums have a habit of disappearing or getting buried, so I wanted to make a blog post with the same general advice. I know, only in SL would anyone consider a blog to have more viability of lasting than the actual official forum…Apart from the…

    More Wonderful Things

    Dhughan here yet again, still digging into my STEAM4 folders and finding wonderful things. This is just what happens when you encounter things as you open boxes and think “Hmmm, this would be quite unique if I add a little of this and that…” Et voila! A clockwork Gentleman of Japan, complete with fan and a clockwork facial tattoo. Needs only an obi, which I know I can get with another such outfit at either Ancient Tree Kimono or Aki-Kimono, a shop that was on the hunt. Sometimes when going through hunt items, sadly, a gift will not work with…

    Wow! Something went wrong with the permissions on this sales item on XStreet.sl – thanks to the kind customer who gave me a heads up. #secondlife http://tinyurl.com/294l5jg The only thing missing is a trio of matching vuvuzelas (and don’t think somebody hasn’t already thought of that, I’ve been getting freebies in my group gifts all week) Yeah, finally got something made AND imaged AND textured for marketing online AND uploaded.

    New Look at Lauks Nest

    It’s been a shockingly long time since my last update. It’s only because I’ve been busy wandering around and getting my virtual sea legs. Second Life is kind of an all-encompassing experience; if you get into, you really get into it. To the exclusion of a lot of other things, at least at first. Even blogging. I seem to have a “job” and a “place to live,” and my “life” has started to settle into a pretty comfortable routine. Also, I’ve evened out my First Life/Second Life time priorities, now that I’m no longer really a “n00b” (a player of…
