Eye Candy Designs

My entry into the Fashion Designer Challenge is now in my main store at Oz! The name Eternal Winter is a play on both the inspiration of the piece (My challenge was to design a set inspired by the IceHotel in Sweden) and my continuing homage to a certain white haired vampire fashion icon. You can pick up the necklace on the new releases wall, and for the next 3 days you can get the bracelet FREE in the Baum Birthday Bash going on at Oz. There are lots of other gorgeous prizes to be had, so if you haven't stopped by I highly suggest it :) Enough words, on with the pictures!

Now, I am not a blogger except when I have to be. Usually that is product releases or events or if something really impresses or excites me... this would be the latter.

In SL today, I stumbled across a cheery looking guy holding a sign that directed me to a SL Japanese website. I could not translate it well so I asked for help from my good friend Risusipo Jun (who many of you know as the maker of adorable chipmunks!) She told me that it was a petition to protest the closing of a Japanese game company's sim on March 28th (March 29th JST) The sim was ALTUSVEGAS. She and a friend of hers began showing me some of the avatars available from this sim. To say they are stunning is an understatement. They are complete avatars from shape to clothes to AOs and some of the coolest things I have seen in SL.

I went to the sim and was just blown away, both by the cool factor of the place - and that I had never heard of it. I felt like I had to share and hopefully more people can experience it before it is gone - and pick up these avatars, as they are only between 300-600 each for simply amazing work. I probably got a dozen just to have them. Here's a few quick poorly done shots, but PLEASE go check it out in the next few days before it disappears for good!

There's only one day left to check out The Armoire and participate in the hunt - we have five great designers showing their wares and an interesting and challenging hunt for some gorgeous items, including some that won't be sold after the hunt is over. BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HUNT! It isn't hard, but you won't know what to do if you just skim them or don't read them at all. The effort is worth it, I promise!

I have several new items up for sale, including my work from the Rezzable Egypt show. Here is the Lotus Necklace (matching pieces soon to come!)



Also, my Hellenic sets, which have a loose Greek influence and the chunky style that is so in right now, which makes me happy because I love bold pieces!





Be sure to come by Sunday between 12 and 2 pm for our Not a Runway Show - models will be wearing jewelry from the show and standing on pedestals in graceful poses (by LAP!) so that you can actually zoom in on the jewelry up close and see how it looks on the body. The event closes Sunday evening at 10 pm SLT so don't miss your chance to pick up these amazing gifts.

Stay shiny!

Sometimes you can choose to focus on the negative - but isn't it always better to focus on the positive? For those who might think this is a negative snarky post, please read the original intent of the thing. There probably aren't many people who haven't been bullied at some point or another. It isn't ok to do as children and it certainly isn't as adults. It is just bad behavior - no matter what sweet frosting is put on top. So let's rise above it. Having an opinion isn't the same as tearing somebody down for the amusement of you and your friends.

I was fortunate enough to participate in the Rezzable Crimson Shadow Designers Event an I was inspired to make two pieces that I think are some of my best sculpted work yet. I've done a female and male version called respectively The Sanguine Temptress and The Onyx Scorpion - the first in a series called Night Sanctum.

The Night Sanctum series begins with two pieces created entirely with sculpted prims - The Sanguine Temptress and The Onyx Scorpion. Both are bold statement necklaces inspired by the wild and dangerous nature of Crimson Shadow. Sanguine Temptress has blood red rubies and 18 karat gold tendrils that seem to almost move of their own accord while Onyx Scorpion features faceted onyx and burnished silver curving seductively into a deadly yet beautiful tail.

They will be on sale ONLY at Crimson Shadow through November 9th and after that will be on sale at my store in Emerald City. Check out all the great designers at the event here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Crimson%20Shadow%20Rezzable/194/245/27
