New Necklaces

Just a quickie - I've put out a new necklace today, it's a simple plain chain. I've been asked why I don't do simple items... moi? But I like complicated! Anyway, just to make it harder for myself, I sculpted each link! It's available in gold or silver. Pics coming up now:

Of course, it's available inworld too, at my store in Gisborne. Demo version available there too.

I forgot to note down the credits for the model :( Off the top of my head, the skin is an old one from TaP, eyes from Sin Skins and top from Pixel Dolls. I'll try and remember to update this tomorrow.

Stop me now!

Noooooo... someone had to go and introduce me to Flickr. I'd been trying my hardest to avoid it, but now I'm sucked in. Bah. Just don't expect me to work any time soon, I'm too busy taking piccies.

Cai's been shopping

I don't normally do fashion posts (mainly because there are a million and one fashion bloggers out there that can do it better than me!) but this I had to share.

For the first time, in nearly five years on SL, I bought a skin fat-pack. I'd seen the blog post from Nephi advertising new skin tones at Stella di Roccia - I'd tried demos of this skin line in the past but they were always too dark for me (I'm pale and interesting in RL - I tend to prefer my avi the same way!), so when I saw new pale skin tones I was so there!

And, wow, what can I say. As far as I'm concerned, absolute perfection. So I bought the lot *grins*

This is me in the Lait skin tone, Lucrezia (cateye liner) makeup. Because I'm not a fashion blogger, you only get to see my face :P And while I'm here, I might as well plug the jewellery, which is one of the sets I made for the Crimson Shadow collection. The beautiful dress comes from there too.

  • Hair - Frangipani - Mostaccioli in Espresso
  • Skin - Pixel Spa - Lait in Lucrezia
  • Eyes - Pixel Spa - Adorable:Rose
  • Dress - Crimson Shadow - Webbed n Lace Red Dress
  • Jewellery - Crimson Shadow - Blood Vial Set
  • Nails - TaP - French Pink

New Freebie!

I've put a new freebie ring up at my store, I've had this one lurking in my inventory for a couple of months but I never got round to making any more, so I'm giving it away :)


And if you want more freebies, join my update group! I sent a gift parcel containing another 5 rings out yesterday... Click on Groups and search for 'Cailyn's Update Group'.

Wood is good for the soul...

Lately, I've been doing so much work with black and red and silver - I needed a change! My inner pastels are screaming to come out to play *grins* This time of year (it's autumn/fall here) browns and oranges always make an appearance in the fashion world, and so here's my contribution - with a splash of green too!

The first release today is a set - a wooden necklace, bangle and earrings, highlighted with gold accents. I'm really pleased with this set - the green bangle especially - I think my texturing skills have improved no end the past few months. Anyway.. the pics:

What I'm wearing here:
  • Eyes - *Sin Skins* Intense Ocean/Obsidian Eyes
  • Hair - *HCT* (Platinum) Sunshine
  • Top - []::Tuli::[] Ana earth (exclusive group gift)
  • LipRing - *SM lipring_spiky steel (Synthetic Memory Jewellery Expo gift)
  • Skin - (Mojo) Skin - Tone 1 - 10
This release marks a couple of new things for my store too. From now on, all my new releases will be mod/copy only. Inventory in SL seems to get flakier by the week, so making things copyable makes sense to me. I list on SLX and OnRez, so it's possible to gift items that way, or a quick IM to me inworld and I'll pass an item on. The second thing - I've started to make demo versions of new releases. There are demos of the above necklaces available in my store now :)

... I'm still here! ...

Poor, poor neglected blog! Never mind, I'm back again (for a while, at least!). Been very busy lately helping my partner Jimmy get Crimson Shadow launched, then making a jewellery collection for them. I've got a week of dead time before I start my next commission, so I've been making a few bits for my store... yes, there will be an update soon! I've got some stuff that's been lurking around in my inventory for ages, so I'll probably make those into new freebies... anyway, back to work!

The Crimson Shadow Collection

A couple of months ago, I was approached by Rezzable Creations and asked to make some jewellery for their vampire themed sim, Crimson Shadow Rezzable. I created 10 sets of gothic styled jewellery and accessories, ranging from headpieces, feathered shoulder decorations, corset style chokers and cuffs to the more traditional lace chokers and blood vials.

They are available in-world only, exclusively at Crimson Shadow Rezzable.


Here's a few pics to illustrate!
