Pretty much closed

I have stopped producing work in SL, pretty much segueing to producing work in RL under the name Katie Chameleon for RL markets. I learned a whole lot about what does and does not work. It is time to let this rest.

That doggone RL

RL is taking the lions share of me of late. Plus, the internet connection where I now live can best be described as "spotty". I am only puttering on occasion now, and do not know when this will change.

To everyone who loves my jewelry, I give both a thank you and my regrets. I will let all know when this changes.

Moving, sigh

Next week is the Jewelry Fair. I had great desires and designs in my head for the show, but a new RL job has resulted in relocating, and having trouble getting a space set up where I can work. Disappointing, but I will punt. I am (hopefully) getting permissions to release some alternate versions of some commission work, and I have a few partially finished pieces lying about. I will have a simple, minimal presence, but I will show.

Note to self: Do not move in the early Fall next year.

Sigh

Finally! The Avilia Snake necklace!

I am VERY happy to get to make this post. I put my heart and soul into this piece. It is a very detailed, very lovingly constructed set based on the classic vintage snake necklace designed by Margo de Taxco. All textures are hand-painted, and every prim is hand-placed to match the look, feel, and exceptional drape of the original. I actually taught myself to make sculpties so I could make the head!



I have an enlarged version at my shop just so you can see the detail. This Mama is very proud!



It is a piece I made under contract, but part of our contract was that I could sell it for 50% commission at my place, on SL, and on OnRez. The client is an authorized seller of this necklace in RL, and wished to have an SL version to share as well.

Come see! Angelina

Next...

I have been continuing my slow wander through my basics series. RL is eating a lot of time right now. I am glad to keep moving on this stuff, and it will soon be done!

This week I present the Studded Basics Hoops set. A small and mid-sized studded hoop, in even a few more metal gem combinations!


I was so tempted to do a large size hoop as well, but I just could not make myself put almost 200 prims per hoop for an affect so subtle. Ya, call me a wimp. Perhaps I will correct that oversight later.

I have 2 more items in this series, and then on to more fun!

Enjoy! Angelina

This Week Lip Rings

Ya, I admit this is getting boring. I am glad to be getting this done though. I have felt it is pretty essential to have a nice set of basics to fill out a product line, and once I found out how to make this itty bitty prim, well, I was entranced.



I am looking for a different way to vend these items though. 27 noses, ears, or lips on a wall is a bit daunting. A few jewelers use some nice scripts that walk you through the selection. I will have to investigate that.

Next item up? 2 sizes of earrings. Until then? Enjoy.

New Studded Basics set: Belly Rings!

Hello to you all!

This week is the second in which is going to be a series of Studded Basics: the belly ring!



The stones and metals are the same as last week. I am completely happy to custom stones and metals as well. I had to stop somewhere. ;) I have put two of them out for free this week as well. You will just have to find them.

I was hoping to get a bit more done this week, but I hurt a tooth, and it has seriously limited my SL time. Oh well.

See you next week!
