"Queen of the Shadows"

I would like to present to you my contribution to Rezzable's "Killer Designers" Crimson Shadow event, which previews today at 12pm.


This is a huge set, comprising of a necklace, tiara, 2 armbands and a pair of earrings. I took inspiration from the circular theme of Crimson - if you've explored there, you'll know how one vaulted round room leads to another. The idea of this piece was to make the spirals look as if they organically grow .. I hope I achieved it! The colour scheme of Crimson is also reflected in the set - dark black metal settings hold softly glowing marquis cut rubies, with teardrop rubies scattered around for added highlights.

It's hard to show full details in a single box-artwork, so here are a few closeup shots of each piece. Click on them to show the bigger picture.




The set will be available only at Crimson Shadow Rezzable for the duration of the Killer Designers event, after that I will put it up for sale in my stores. There will be a demo version available on the vendor for you to try the set out for fit. All pieces come with modify & copy permissions.

One last thing, I'm away on vacation from 19th October through to 2nd November - so if there are any problems with the "Queen of the Shadows" vendor, please contact Lokum Shilova who is authorised to deal with it in my absence. With that, I'll love you and leave you... see y'all in two weeks!

Killer Designers at Crimson Shadow

A few weeks ago, Rezzable showed the 'Passions of the Black Swan' - (vid) - a collection of fabulous gowns, skins, hair and accessories from some of the hottest designers on the grid. Tuli, Sn@tch, Nomine, caLLie cLine, Philotic Energy.. to name but a few. Basically, the designers had to come up with an item that was inspired by the Black Swan sim.

On Sunday, 19th October, through to November 9th, a new collection will be shown. This time, the fashion is inspired by the Crimson Shadow sim (which has been my favourite place in the world, for many reasons). I was delighted when Lokum asked me to participate in this collection, and so I've been busy the past week or so making something fabulous (I hope!). I can't tell you what yet.. but it's the biggest set I've ever made.

I can't wait to see what the other designers have come up with. Hopefully I'll be getting a sneaky preview when I put my vendor up.. but if it's anything like the Black Swan collection, it will be totally amazing. Fantabulous. Breathtaking.

If you haven't visited Crimson yet (why not?!) this would be the perfect time. More info on participating designers, and location pics, here.

New Victoriana Sets

Last year some time, I made a set of chokers called Victoriana. They've been one of my more popular items over the last few months. Scroll forward in time now, to a couple of days ago, when I was watching the chat in Fashion Emergency group as I worked on something. I can't remember why I commented, but Scar Ayres piped up and mentioned how much she loved this set. And could I make it in more colours please! So you can blame her for these ones.



I've added three new stones to the original ruby, emerald and amethyst. The first is sapphire, a fab deep blue stone, but everyone knows that! Next is moonstone, which is the creamy off-white one, and finally white quartz, a cloudy pure white stone (and also my favourite of the new bunch). As before, the set contains the choker and matching earrings. Unlike before, it's now Mod/Copy only. I've also put up demo versions of this set in the store. Available in all the usual places (see right hand side for locations).

And because I'm feeling extra nice, I've added the moonstone version to my lucky chair.
