Gemstones – THEMA Magazine – How to be an Obsidian?

by

THEMA Magazine - Obsidian Wicca Merlin 5

I again had the great pleasure to be one of the contributors for the THEMA Magazine. Taylor Wassep, owner and founder of that amazing magazine, always looks for different artists to make pictures for specific themes.

This time her idea was, to have gemstones as the basic inspiration. We could choose from a list of gemstones and certainly I wanted to have something with black. After i talked to Taylor we came across the Obsidian gem stone. That was exactly what I like and so I started to style something according to my gemstone.

I already had an idea in mind for my set. According to that I needed to find something, that would let me sit and do some crazy poses without breaking the whole outfit.

So I started with the “Couture Leggings” from Maitreya. For the top I found an old corset from E-Clipse called “LaDominante”. That made a great base for some editorial pictures and poses.

To underline the Obsidian character, I wanted to bring in some lighter spots, since the gemstone itself as well has some lighter reflections.

So I took out the helm from the “Bellatrix” outfit  and as well the chest piece of the “Plaisance Deux” outfit, both from Zibska, and completed my look.

For the set… I wanted to have a jewelry box and the first idea was to make myself the gemstone of a ring in that box… it did not work out that way, so I tried to place myself beside the ring in the ringbox which I liked a lot more 😉

Finesmith – “Shinobu Inspiration”

by

Another great inspiration set was born!!! “Shinobu” is one of the latest additions to the inspiration sets for the Finesmith Muse 2012.

Yula Finesmith again shows her genius mind for extraordinary creations! This set is definitely nothing for chickens :p It is a very powerful set with all the dragon heads and sharp ends 🙂 What totally thrilled me is the new way of the ring yula made… you do not only have a ring on your hand .. no it is connected to another dragon head that sits a little but more up your wrist – simply an amazing idea! The huge necklace and earrings will turn heads anyways where you show off this incredible, extraordinary piece of art. Last but not least the great red horns paired with 2 little black spikes as an awesome headpart. If you claim to be a fashionista… a brave one… you should not miss the “Shinobu” set in your jewelry box 😉 – now available at the Finesmith Mainstore!!!

Mea Culpa – “Way to Purgatory”

by

“Way to Purgatory” is one of the latest designs from Mea Culpa. Now you will ask yourself ‘I saw that gown already before’ and yes you did 😉 “Way to Purgatory” was one of the 2 amazing gowns that were sold in the Halloween special. If you were not one of the lucky ones that got it that time… no worries. You can now get yours for the regular prize in the Mea Culpa Mainstore.

Lets take a closer look at the gown…

It is a firework of textures and prims that again show the great skills of Tatanka Kaligawa, if it comes to design and ideas. The basic color might be black but it is ornamented and decorated with so many shades, shows and lights… simply wonderful. The attachments of the body move in a dreamy way. The great huge prim attachments at the head, round the neck and the hips carry a wonderful texture that breaks the black character of the gown in a perfect way. To see what else is new, make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉 Belive me… it is worth it :p

Up next “Silver Dragon” again shows the amazing skills of  Tatanka Kaligawa, the genius designer of Mea Culpa. The basic clothing layers show off a lot of skin and make this outfit to a sexy eyecatcher. This outfit comes as a full outfit with head part and boots. Center of this outfit are for me the long steel parts and spikes that give the outfit a light amazon touch… some for the brave strong girls 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Dark Desire”, Model: Daffodil Crimson)

“Dark Desire” wakes up dark desires 😉 A long black gown with a beautiful ornamented corsage part. The tight corsage leads over to a big ballgown skirt. The special detail on this incredible gown in the great head pice with the lovely flower and the fantastic spider webs in 2 colors. The black of the gown is broken with the red petals of the flowers and one red spiderweb. The headpiece is also decorated with beautiful lace parts that give the whole part a mystical and elegant touch.

“African Lotus” is a very huge gown that definitely will make you the center of every event. It is not a symmetric outfit, the amazing attached prims are take the left side of the outfit. Dreamy flexi made the move with every step you take. The top layer is covered by an amazing wrapped part that goes over the right shoulder.

And if you look very close you can see a beautiful leopard animal print texture that covers the body that is worn under the glittering prim parts. 2 long flexi attachments go down from the wait to the knee and caress your legs with every movement.

Last outfit for this post is “Perfectly Wrapped” The name shows off the basic idea of this design 😉 The whole body is wrapped in a foil looking texture with amazing edgy spikes that make a great contrast. The great head part is also included and carries a few of the long edgy parts that make this outfit definitely to a haute couture one. The long attachments are again great flexi made and move natural with every step you make.

The ring also is not only a simple single ring… Gems & Kisses jewelry always is like little artpices and so the ring it self is made of 6 rings in a spiral way. The same litte, red, gold framed hearts with their lovely diamonds decorate the upper side of the ring.
