News and general goings-on at Elphen-Made

Its been a busy week. I feel like all I do in SL is work, these days, but I'm hoping it will be worth it. Thank goodness I love creating and my work is fun. :)

SO! Here are the updates:

NEW STORE BUILD!


I worked this week on updating and expanding the main store location. I was running out of wall space! :O So, it has transformed... magically...as befits a store that grew out of a fairy forest. ;)




Its still at the same location, of course ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Moondust/190/34/118 ) and I invite you to stop by and check it out for yourself.


DISCOUNTS!
I have weeded out and relegated about 1/3 of my older products to a newly created "50L Discount Wall" Lots of well made jewelry sets can be found there for just L$50 now.


NEW VENDOR!
I've placed a vendor chock full of my products at Jade's Jazz Island just in front of the steps going into the main club. If you're out and about and see it, please give it a click.
I'll be updating it often as I add new products and release new items.


NEW PRODUCT!
As a bit of fun and fluff for me because of all this work, I took an old favorite of mine, the half-dozen Tulip Bouquet and kicked it up a few notches. It now comes scripted for texture change and includes a custom made animation for holding it gently across a bent arm (animation does not interfere with your regular AO).


The flowers can be changed to any of 9 different petal textures, as well as multicolored and "dead/black" versions. Stems change from green to "dead" as well.


Lastly, I'm working on a new release for the more Gorean-inclined community. >.> Its a beautiful set of kajira adornments. I'm very happy with how its come out. Its completed and I hope to release it this weekend. I will blog that separately soon. :)

Now, seeing as its 4:30am and I've nothing else to do...I'm off to sleep. :)

It's Finished!! :)

Finally, finally! I have worked more this past week than I care to make account for here, lol...but the move is finished. The shop is complete and decorated. I've updated every vendor, every image, and many of the actual products themselves. I've lowered most of my prices to celebrate the move and I might actually keep them there >.>



I'm going to plan for a grand opening this weekend sometime, which will include a few surprises so be sure to stop by! Here's the new SLURL. :)

While you're there you can check out the new bracelet I made (on the suggestion of a customer...thank you!!) to accompany the Musical Hearts set.

Pretties in the Garden

As I mentioned, I recently acquired a new larger parcel to relocate my store. I spent time last evening building a shop (which is still void of vendors but the building is UP...and you can see it behind me in the first picture, all empty and ready for moving in...yay!) and I spent my morning today setting up a bit of a fae forest/courtyard in the open area in front of the shop.

My "Elphie Garden" is decked out with a quaint mossy brick walk which leads to seating (made by moi, tyvm) and Pillowtalk comfies. You can sit and enjoy the ambience of the sunlight streaming though the trees and the glow from the gems growing lovingly beneath those same trees...because I grow my own gems, of course, dontyaknow *winks*


(thanks to Pillowtalk for comfiness, Earendilia Garden Centre for trees and flowers, and Straylight for trees, textures, sunbeams, gems and general magical-ness).

I'm completely re-doing my vendors with this move, so I have a bit of work ahead (that won't be nearly as fun as decorating my courtyard, heh). I will be sure to update as things progress. Watch this space :)
