Two more new necklaces

I've been wanting to do another long necklace for a while, and so Adele was born:

I thought about reusing the chain from my heart drop necklaces that I made ages ago, but after working on the pendant, I decided the old chain looked too clunky, so I made a new one. I think the new version looks much slinkier, and more polished overall. So - Adele, a long drop silver chain, with an eye-catching glass donut and suspended flexi chains. It comes in three colours so far - red, black and blue, though I'm happy to take suggestions for others!

The second new release is actually a set, named Aisha. It features orange glass stones, mixed with random silver hoops. I couldn't decide whether to make this a single or double strand, so both are included in the box! The orange texture is actually an attempt at making an amber texture - obviously nowhere near yet, but I really liked the effect so I kept this one. There's matching earrings included too.


Both styles are available now at L$250 (Adele) or L$300 (Aisha), from either of my stores (Gisborne & Fuzzy) or from SLX (Aisha, Adele Black, Adele Blue, Adele Red) or OnRez (Aisha, Adele Black, Adele Blue, Adele Red).

Demos are available at the inworld stores too. Why not join my update group while you're there? *grins*

More new necklaces

Two more new necklaces were released last night (would have blogged them straight away, but RL intervened!)

The first is the Crescent necklace. It's made up of sculpted silver cubes, and sculpted stone beads of either turquoise or carnelian. I then added a silver crescent pendant, with a few more smaller stones to tie it back in.



The second necklace is my favourite, and is called Eden. I saw a RL friend wearing one very similar to this, and I just had to make a version for SL! I love the shapes in this one, the mix of small round beads to the large (what do you call that shape anyway?) beads. Hers was a black plastic.. I've textured mine to look like dark wood (and it's come out melting-chocolate colour.. yummy)


All three are available now at L$250 each, from either of my stores (Gisborne & Fuzzy) or from SLX (carnelian, turquoise, eden) or OnRez (carnelian, turquoise, eden).

Demos are available at the inworld stores too.

Sale update - I've fixed the vendors, so everything should now be available to buy! Don't forget, it finishes Sept 1st, and everything on the upper floor is L$100 or less. Lots of rings, earrings, necklaces and general shiny stuff to choose from. ** Only at Gisborne location! **

Clearance sale!

I've run out of room in Gisborne! So, I've decided to have a clear out. I've moved lots of rings, bangles, earrings, necklaces and sets to the upper floor, and marked them all to L$100 or less (in most cases, much less!)

This is only in the Gisborne location!

I'm gonna delete them all Sept 1st 2008. Once they're gone... they're gone. Finito.

New necklace!

Yay, new stuffs! Like I mentioned before, I've been playing with baking textures, and this is one that I've come up with. It's a really yummy polished bead effect, so I strung a load of them on a long drop necklace and messed around until I had a look I liked. The finished product:


The pic shows the blue version, which is my favourite, but the necklace also comes in red, purple, black and green. They cost L$250 each, and are available from my stores in Gisborne and Fuzzy, and also on SLX and OnRez. Demo available inworld. It's good to be back creating again!

Hey, remember me?

This blog's been quite for a while, huh? So, a quick update - round about January time, a few things happened which killed my desire to be in SL. My partner left (for RL reasons), I got a new RL job which takes up huge amounts of time, and I got myself addicted to EVE Online *sheepish grin* (BTW, if you play, say hi to Amirylla, that's me! And don't shoot me please!)

The past couple of months I've been flitting in and out of SL, not really achieving much. Mostly shopping and freebie hunting. My inventory is soon going to implode, I just know it. I'd been participating in a thread on SLUniverse called 'Show your style', where we just took pics of whatever outfit we were wearing that day, and where to buy all the bits. From that, I got contacted by Tenshi Vielle, and asked to do pretty much the same kind of posts on her & Iris's blog, Shopping Cart Disco. I've now done a couple of posts there, and it's much fun :) But the urge to create is back (plus I need funds for shopping!)

Also, I've been slowly learning how to make sculpties, and bake textures. I got hold of an old copy of Maya from a work colleague, and I've been happily spending hours playing with nurbs and shaders. I'm still a novice, but I'm learning! And I've come up with one bead texture that I'm really happy with (more on that in another post :)

Finally.. I opened a new store in the Fuzzy sim. If you haven't been there, it's a fantastic cute shopping sim, with lots of little boutiques to browse. It's run by the wonderful Popfuzz, who I had the pleasure of meeting when I rented the spot. We chatted for ages, and she showered me with gifts... I feel loved! lol

Anyway, there we go. A potted update. I'm back. Yay.
