Vintage Fair 2012 opens its doors to the public today at 4PM SLT! I worked hard last few weeks to bring you these new items created specially for the event.

Golden Life Sunglasses are my first MESH item for sale! They're glamourous, oversized, attention grabbing and chic - so... always in style :) They will give you an air of mystery and that fabulous movie-star look.











Each pack consists of sunglasses scripted with:

• frames texture change (5 colours)
• lenses texture change (11 colours)
• lenses opacity change (11 opacity levels)
• lenses glow change (11 glow levels)

 
Additionaly each pack includes two prop sunglasses (they have arms in different positions than the main sunglasses). The props can be used as fun attachments, eg. worn in hands, attached on clothes etc. You can also rez them as decoration items in your virtual home. They are scripted the same way as the main sunglasses.





My second new release for Vintage fair is Victorian lady Cameo Necklace and matching Cameo Ring. The necklace has an accent of ribbons, dangles and beads, but modern (plain) version is also included.





For more information on the event, please visit Vintage Fair 2012 website. You will find there maps and SLURLs to all booths as well as information about Vintage Fair Flickr Competition!

[MAGIC NOOK] booth is located at CHIC sim - I hope to see you there!

I'm liking boho style these days and I think it shows in my new items :) The new release is Navajo Arrow necklace in silver and gold - a delicate native necklace with a dainty arrow charm, and - as this week [MAGIC NOOK] is TDR's shop of the collection - I've got for you boho ear cuffs featuring  a cascade of beautiful brown wild feathers.







For the next week gold Navajo Arrow necklace is available cheaper at TDR, and the ear cuffs are available cheaper at my mainstore (just be sure to buy from TDR's shop of the collection board right in front of the entrance).

Pixel food is one of those things in SL that I can't resist - if it's cute, I want it ^^ Sometimes I can persuade myself that I don't need another bag of sweets, or a hot-dog, or a strawberry cheescake - but if it's free, it will definitely go to my inventory. Today I focus on items from Poche (no need to introduce this place, right? if you've never been there, go now!). Just look how yummy these are!











All items shown here are FREE, get them at Poche:

I released new vintage watch necklaces! They mix modern style with old-timey charm and are really cute. The necklaces are available in 5 designs (some silver, some gold).











As usual one of the designs - Kitty - is available for a lower price at The Dressing Room till friday. All of the necklaces are available at [MAGIC NOOK] Main Store.

I released new earrings - a different approach to classic hoops. They are triangular and will look great with any outfit, from casual to evening wear. Available in silver and gold. I'm blogging them a little late because... *blush*... I forgot earlier (RL is busy busy busy lately). For a few more hours you can get these earrings in silver for a lower price at The Dressing Room. Be fast, tomorrow the collection at TDR will be changed! :)

Awww, mesh is thriving on SL market and everyone is so excited: creating new items, trying new clothes, testing new possibilities. I might be the only person in SL that is (kind of) not very enthusiastic about mesh. It's not that I don't like the benefits mesh creations bring to Second Life - I LOVE the possibilities - but it's more like I'm not ready for mesh yet.

I remember when I first heard of sculpties I disliked them so much! That time, just like today, I didn't feel I was ready. There was so much to discover about regular prims (and I'm still learning) and I had no experience with 3D graphics except a few simple renders I had created long time ago out of curiosity. It was all new and I felt it requires too much professional knowledge which I thought I wouldn't be able to gain through my favourite method of learning: trial and error.

But once sculpties were available gridwide, each time I created a primmy item I thought "Oh, sculpties would make this so much less primmy". I started experimenting with various software and finally settled with Blender 3D, which really is a fantastic and powerful program for making sculpted prims. I learned to make sculpties - through trial and error.

I love sculpties. I made a lot of sculpted items since then, I learned how to make complex sculpties in one prim, I learned to make sculpted plants, I started to make sculpted clothing items and jewellery, I learned how to bake materials and lights on sculpts... And there is still so much to learn about sculpties, so much to discover! But mesh is now available gridwide. I don't feel like I'm ready yet. But when I make items now, I think "Oh, mesh would solve this problem easily". Is it time already?
