Flora

A LOT of hours and several all-nighters this weekend resulted in a stunningly gorgeous new jewelry set that I'm particularly proud of. Not only was every prim painstakingly placed by my own hand, I also acquired a new, very powerful and yet extremely low lag script which took some time to learn and utilize (but was oh so worth it). I'm especially excited because I really feel like this set fits my "brand" so well and highlights what I can do with my building right at this moment. I'm still in the infancy of learning to sculpt and hope to really take off with that very soon, too. So, without further ado.... Flora:



Named for the Roman Goddess of flowers, the Flora jewelry set is undeniably floral, delicate, and feminine.

Lovingly designed and intricate, this set includes the necklace, earrings, ring, and even a tiara fit for a fairy princess.



Scripted to change textures on touch with a very low lag script.
Textures change separately on the leaves, petals, metal, and beads allowing for limitless combinations.



Gem textures included (for both the leaf and petal prims): diamond, blue topaz, amethyst, citrine, emerald, aquamarine, sapphire, and ruby.
Bead textures: Pearl, Onyx, Silver, Gold, Antique Gold, Blue Agate, Carnelian (red), and Turquoise.
Metal textures: Gold, Antique Gold, Silver, Tarnished

With all these choices you can truly individualize this set to fit any taste or occasion. :)



The necklace has 2 attachment points to choose from (spine or chest)

You can purchase all the pieces of the Flora set separately or buy the complete set and save over 40%

Available now at my store in-world and on XstreetSL. :)

Introducing Chelle

Hey there! Yes, I'm posting for the second time this week. Please do not be alarmed. :P

I just released a sweet new set that I wanted to be sure to include here. A RL friend of mine was wearing a necklace that inspired this set. I took the idea and expanded upon it a little, added some matching earrings and then a lovely headband/tiara to go along with it. Have a look for yourself. Its currently available in my store and on Xstreet, as usual. Scripted for texture change, also. You can literally be as elegant as you want, or change the metal to tarnish and change the whole look to something more grungy. There are 4 metals included (gold, silver, antique gold, or tarnished); 12 bead styles (gold, silver, antique, blue agate, carnelian, cat's eye, moonstone, jade, jasper, onyx, turquoise, or pearl); and 8 gemstones (diamond, amethyst, aquamarine, topaz, citrine, emerald, ruby, or sapphire). Truly versatile.

Alcmene Set :)

Just a quick blog-up of a new jewelry set I introduced about 2 weeks ago (I told you I'm terrible about updating this thing >.> )

This was incredibly fun to make and ended up being a set that I am very proud of! The necklace started with.... nothing, no plan, no real idea of what I wanted. I just tinkered with different shapes until I started seeing it take shape in my mind and in less than an afternoon, there it was... and it was so pretty. I really love when that happens. When a design just happens almost by accident and actually really works.
So, without further ado (and to save you all on any more of my waxing poetic about creating and prettehs) I present, the "Alcmene" Jewelry Set. I named it such because it just had a wonderfully classic and timeless feel to it. Alcmene in Greek mythology was a human woman who, seduced by Zeus, became the mother of Hercules. I don't know why I liked that so much, but...there it is. :)

The set includes the necklace, matching earrings, and bracelet and is scripted for texture change, so that you can choose from a variety of metals and bead styles. Completely individualize any look.


The Alcmene set is available for purchase now at my shop in-world or on Xstreet. Hope to see you there.

In other news, I also have at least two more sets in the works and nearly ready for release very soon. I'd also like to broaden my selection of pieces for men, so if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

New Jewelry!

Oh gosh I am so bad at remembering to keep up this blog. Lol. To be fair, I had a bit of a hiatus from making new items for my store the past couple of months so there hasn't been much to say, design-wise. Real life was just busy busy and so I've wanted my time in Secondlife to not be about work for a bit. BUT... things are leveling off and summer is almost here now, so I'm hoping to have lots more to talk about here over the next few months.

This week I released several new things. First is a series of necklaces with music themed pendants for women and men alike:



Also, just today I've released this lovely jewelry set. Named "Sunniva" in honor of one of my dearest friends in SL, it was very lovingly designed to be elegant but also fun and sweet just like she is. It consists of whimsical clusters of beads in varying sizes strung upon a satin ribbon that is tied behind the neck in a sweet little bow. A sweet matching bracelet is included.


As is my habit, all of my new items are scripted for texture change to provide countless options and combinations for any look. I have more ideas on the way, so watch this space. :)

These items are all available in my store In-World and on X-street. Thanks for looking! <3

Happy Holidays :)

Well, I just haven't blogged in forever but I'm still kicking around. I am thinking of taking some serious time and learning to sculpt. While I'm proud of the fact that while many people have turned to sculpties, I can still bend and torture regular prims to my every whim (well...almost) there are just limitations to them that I can't get around...and I just have so many ideas in my head that would come off better as sculpted pieces. So, I'm really hoping to spend some time in Zbrush working on getting used to the UI and how to use it... free time being quite a commodity these days, it might take a bit, but I want to learn.

In the meantime I have put out a number of holiday items in my shop. They are slightly (very slightly, lol) updated versions of my holiday selections from last year, but I still think they look sweet and festive :) Sweet diamond wings angels, a Christmas Star, Vibrant Poinsettias, Christmas Trees and of course, my Snowflake collection, which seems to be a favorite still.



Thanks for looking and I wish you a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year 2010!

Jewelry Fair 2009!!!

The Jewelry Fair 2009 is nearly here! The sims are being set up now to open on Friday September 18th. WOOHOO!

I just finished setting up my small booth and I'm so excited. It runs through September 27th and is benefitting a great charity: Oxfam (http://www.oxfam.org/) I checked out the charity and it really is amazing. Oxfam International is working towards global solutions to poverty and injustice. Click the link to find out more.

The Fair is spread out over two sims with a "secret garden" motif. Wind your way through a Hedge Maze highlighting 100 different jewelers at each bend in the maze (don't worry, its nothing you'll get lost in, hehe). The hedge maze is also segmented into the four seasons. My booth happens to be in the "Summer" portion :) There's a number of TP points. You can find it by simply by searching for "Jewelry Fair" under Places in Search or grab this SLURL which will take you to the "Summer" section *wink wink* http://slurl.com/secondlife/JewelryFair%201/35/246/28

I have chosen four pieces that will donate 50% of the proceeds to Oxfam, so please come on out to the fair and support your SL creators as well as this wonderful charity! See you there!!!
