Grid Hunt Etiquette Pt 1 – Hunter Etiquette
I know, how boring of me. More lecturing and hectoring 😉 But for the first time in a couple of years I’ve agreed to be a merchant in a hunt. I’ve been a hunter a few times since then and the same problems seem to keep raising their head. … Read the rest

Serenity. A Clock Sculpture with a difference – and a story :)
This is my first release for 2009 and it’s not just any old release, this piece has taken just shy of 2 years from original conception to it finally being finished. What should have been a simple thing turned out to be a saga of rogue prims, the search for the perfect scripter (think Cinderella here..… Read the rest

A few more Valentine’s Day trinket ideas
My belief is that there’s not enough snow globes in this world, so I’ve created a couple more for those of you who are shameless romantics… Valentine’s Snow Globe A little Valentine’s trinket for the love of your life. When touched, the snow will start to fall and it will say: “You are very special to me, Be my Valentine?”… Read the rest

XSL Winter Wonderland
Xstreet SL is having a yuletide bash on the 20th of December. They’ve created a beautiful sim with the theme ‘Winter Wonderland’ which will be open until the New Year. That snowglobe of mine made it into the goodie bag they’re giving out, they obviously agree with me that there are not enough snowglobes in this world!! … Read the rest

:) Exhibition over and one happy “artiste” with her feet up (sans booze)
Well, I’ve just packed away the exhibition and it’s been fun. During the last couple of weeks I’ve had a chance to catch up with people I haven’t seen in ages and it’s all been good 🙂 The opening night was great, lots of people passing through to say hello and check it out.. … Read the rest

The Exhibition Opening Is Tonight!! (well, it will be for me anyway :) )
It’s been a long two weeks but everything is finally ready to go. I hope.. Never got the dancefloor organised (I didn’t have time to find a DJ – two weeks is just not long enough) but everything else is in place – right down to an icecream cart for those of you who need a choc top when you’re looking at art.… Read the rest

Finally – I’m creating art again in sl *big grin* So come to my exhibition opening.
I haven’t done the art thing for a long time. Many different reasons, but it’s always bothered me that I stopped doing what I loved. Building things is ok and I think I have finally nailed a scripters foot to the floor to help me finish off all the things that I am just completely incapable of hacking/creating the scripts to make work, but it’s not as satisfying as the art.… Read the rest

I’m still around
well, I finally removed the last of the gallery about a month ago and put the land up for sale. I find it interesting that I’ve priced it waaay above the current market rate. I suspect I still haven’t got to the letting go yet – there’s a surprise ;). … Read the rest

Farewell La Vie
I’ve just been dismantling the gallery. I was suprised it was such an easy decision to make even though realistically I had no choice. I had a car accident last year and one of the residual side effects was that I lost the ability to create. … Read the rest

Like to read books? Then you’ll love this link :)
I found this site the other day and am completely enamoured with it: http://www.librarything.com It provides an easy way to catalogue your books and when you’ve got them in there you can search for others who have read the same and see what else they’ve been reading.. … Read the rest

Expanding the Web Presence.. (yes, I’m bored)
I’m still creating, but not that you’d know it.. I’ve got about a dozen things almost finished and they all have one thing in common – they need scripts fixing.. aargh! I’m not a stupid human being by any means, but this scripting lark has got me beaten.… Read the rest

It may be swamp land, but it’s good looking swamp land 🙂 and I’ve also landed at Governor Linden’s mansion..… Read the rest
