TUNES

On cold wings, she’s coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you’ll be longing, nightingale
Come on, just feel it
Don’t you see it?
You better believe
When she embraces your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven’t you seen?
Haven’t you seen?
The ruins of our world

I had the great pleasure to be invited to be part of an exhibition. I was totally surprised when Randy wrote me a message on Flickr and asked me if I would like to exhibit at his amazing, sweet gallery called The 22 Art Space in Bellisseria on the Grenouille sim. The Exhibition is called Electric Sheep. This is one of 3 new pictures I created, which are showed there together with some of my already released ones Randy and Ricco chose from my Flickr. There are 2 amazing other artists showcasing their incredible work. You can read the details HERE and if you would like to take a look yourself – and I would suggest that, as the place really looks amazing – just take the DIRECT TP.

“No, I wouldn’t want to live in a world without dragons…”

“No, I wouldn’t want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery or faith.”

Sometimes you log into Second Life and then the journey downwards starts… This time it was me logging in and looking for my animals folder, which I had sorted something into about 2 days ago and it was all gone. First I thought it might have slipped into another folder like I did have it before, but even if  I typed “JIAN”, “Clover” or “HEXtraordinary into the search field of my inventory… nothing would come up… I was furious again.. there were tons of gacha rares, FLF and bought/gifted animals from the past at least 7 years in it – it was all gone and I am 100% sure it did NOT delete it myself. I wasn’t even near that folder except 2 days ago, when I sorted my new animals I got into that folder. First I looked on my inventory number which I watch very close and carefully kinda everyday. There was not much of a difference, that would make me suspicious or worrying. It was round about the same number as always and so I thought of other things that I could do if it just would be a glitch. I relogged, cleared my cache and even finally updated to the most actual version of the Firestorm Viewer as some people mentioned they got shapes and what not back when the updated their viewer. NOTHING! I was out of ideas and now filed a ticket about it and wait since yesterday for a response still hoping I can get that folder back somehow. I alredy peeked into redelivery terminals, but since many of that animals were blogger reviews, gachas or gifts… I would not even get half of then back 🙁 That really would suck plus I am even scared to buy something ne from  non Casper Vendor, now that I have no clue, if it will be gone after 2 more days again *pulls her hair* Originally I planned a picture with the wonderful “ShadowBull” and the “Osaguar” from Clover, but since I already had them sorted into my animals folder they are gone now too… I had to get a different idea. Thank god I didn’t yet sort my “Dragon Hatchling” into that folder so that is the only animal which is left now in my inventory. The sweet little pet usually comes as a fully animated mesh prop. You will find a follower and an attachable pet with 3 incredible amazing animations in it. For my post I just rezzed them and did build my poses around them.

The amazing face chain you can find at the Man Cave event, made by L’Emporio. The cool chain runs from over your ears down your cheeks through your mouth. With the amazing ornaments it really makes a statement and matches to many different styles. The cool Hair you will find at the actual round of the JAIL event and was handcrafted by no.match.

I still hope that Linden Labs will be able to recover my missing items somehow and until then i just will see what I can come up with without animals for now *winks*

Wicca’s Originals @ The Final Winter

Wicca’s Originals @ The Final Winter // May 30th – June 16th

For this themed event we have created the Jaenya Dress inspired by Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons. This corset-style mini dress is rigged to fit Lara, Hourglass and Freya and is available in light and dark options, with a fatpack option as well if you want ALL the colors. Jaenya will be discounted for the event and regular priced when it comes home to the mainstore, so be sure to swing by the event and get it at a reduced price.

We also have a gift for the Final Winter event’s mini hunt. We have a blue dragon egg hidden in our booth. We can’t tell you what’s inside, but we can tell you that a special one of a kind item can be found inside!

Taxi: The Final Winter

Mother of Dragons…

Mother of Dragons 1

I always had an addiction for dragons and my mom always laughed at me when I said “I know there must be some left dragon eggs somewhere, just nobody yet found them. Dragons will be back some when!”

But believe it or not, even if I am a well-educated and taught person and have some knowledge of science… I am still not willing to give up that thought 😉

Mother of Dragons 2

Second Life, gives me the freedom to play with fantasies and so it was kinda a given that I needed some dragons 😉

Last month when I was invited to put some pictures at Windlight Gallery, paired with the fact that I was watching the latest Game of Thrones season, the idea did grow in my mind to do my very own vision of the Mother of Dragons inspired by the Khaleesi 😉

Mother of Dragons 3

 The dragons I fund at Manticore (Thank you so much Daff for showing me!!!), a wonderful shop for all kind of animals and fantasy creatures. They are wearable and will walk around with you as soon as you have them attached.

The idea of having kinda series for this pictures, came by snapping… first I wanted to just do one picture, and the more I snapped the more ideas came to my mind and all of a sudden they fell together like a short story. In the end I was not able anymore to decide wich one I wanted to use and I just let them be the whole story in the end 😉

Mother of Dragons 4

For the outfit I chose one we made for Wicca’s Wardrobe. Originally it was made for a Game of Thrones inspired theme, but we now put it at the store too in 3 different colors.

The “Visenya” is a short outfit with the great collar and some armor plates arranged as a back skirt. It goes very well together with the “Dragon Queen Headpeice”, the “Dragon Earrings” and the “Alysanne Booties”, which also were made for that event.

It really was great fun to play around with the dragons and loose myself in a time that has been long gone… but dreams.. they stay and who knows… maybe someday someone will find a mysterious egg.. somewhere 😉

Dragon Dreams with Ezura

I know it is a bit late but again SL ate some of the things, that I got sent for blogging. As I lately talked to Ezura Xue, owner and highly skilled designer of Ezura, she asked me if I would not have liked her items for the Fantasy Faire… and I thought she was kidding me… Ezura items PLUS fantasy… that would be me 😉

The “Dragoness” outfit really let my heart beat higher… I love dragons 🙂 The idea to have dragon heads on arms and o the head totally catched my interest and I started fooling around with stylings. After trying different ideas I remembered the “Shinobu” set from Finesmith, hat as well has dragon heads as its focus. the colors black and red are my personal favourite colors anyways so I just tried to find more of my fantasy styling accessories… The hooves might be not dragon like but for fantasy all is allowed
😉 The Fantasy Faire will close this weekend as far as I know, so if you wanna grab one of that fantastic outfits hurry over 😉

White Winter at Finesmith!!!

As I said in one of my last posts… I would like to showcase some more of the ‘White Winter’ collection of yula Finesmith.

Today I have the white version of the “Shinobu Inspiration”. The whole set contains a pair of earrings, the necklace and a fantastic ring. The white gives the whole set a wonderful mystical touch. As always you can resize each part of the set to your likings and fittings via the menu. The little dragon heads make a wonderful theme for an extravagant outfit as well 🙂 If you make your way to the Finesmith Mainstore you can see more of the ‘White Winter’ collection 🙂
