Chemins De Lumiere, gleaming silver

Chemins de Lumiere

Silver, and other metals, can gleam so nicely in Second Life. This all-prim set, has a lovely delicate pendant with tiny brilliant gems adorning the open-work design hanging from the graceful chain. The earrings echo the motif of the necklace and dangle stunningly below the earlobes for a striking addition to any outfit.

Joyeux Gown, a vision in periwinkle

Joyeux

This ensemble offers a variety of ways to wear it. It has two sets of sleeves, one of which features a large, soft, sculpted pleating and the other a smaller sculpt with flowing sheer panels. Gilded lace adorns the edges of the sleeves and gown hem. Glitch pants, with a gilded pattern, can be worn under or alone with a matching open-midriff jacket. The gown has a beautiful handmade lace over-pattern on the sheer fabric above the silk periwinkle underskirt.

A marvelous enhancement is the addition of starry particles, visible best at night, that turn on and off by touching the skirt.

Available at all my stores, including Linji.

Mystical Mastery’s Pagoda Forest Opens



Pagoda Forest Header 
RodneyLee Jessop, Fox Obviate and I have created the Pagoda Forest in Mystical Mastery based on a group of 18 pagodas called the Yin Shan Silver Pagoda Forest which, in RL, are located on Yin Shan Mountain in China (a guy, by the name of Vladimir, has a great travelog which includes the forest here).  There are a number of caves in the district.
 

Entrance to the Pagoda Forest in Mystical Mastery

We placed a cavelike entrance, based on the Bohdhidharma Cave, making the area rather picaresque on Mystical Mastery. It faces the beautiful waterline around the sim and is at the base of the mountain upon which sits our Shaolin Temple where we hold daily meditations.     

Pagoda Forest in Mystical Mastery Meditation Terrace in the Pagoda Forest    

As you venture upon the winding walkway, you find yourself among the pagodas with the stone trail  bringing you to a large waterfall.  A meditation terrace welcomes you with zafus to sit and reflect and enjoy your surroundings.  It faces the beautiful waterline around the sim and is at the base of the mountain upon which sits our Shaolin Temple where we hold daily meditations. We welcome all of you to visit and explore the Pagoda Forest and all the other wonders in Mystical Mastery and Mystica.

Wings of Love -not your ordinary silks

Wings of Love Promo
Wings of Love Breastplate
This still remains one of my favorite pieces.  I love the look of silks and really had fun playing with this trying to work with a peacock feather as the base for the texture and working with the flexi prims to have just enough stiffness to give the illusion of feathers while maintaining enough suppleness to move nicely.  It is prim-intensive, but adds a regal touch to the female form.  There is a flurry of panels accenting the backside to give that tail-feather look.  The jewels, on the breast and pelvic plates, are fashioned to make a stylized birds head with a spray of beads to make its tail fan.  Wings of Love is 595L and is available at all my stores including at all my stores including Linji.  As we head into the NEW YEAR, I am excited at all the prospects that lay ahead and look back with gratitude for all that was given me, especially the love and support of my friends and loved ones.  My one resolution is to do better than i have, to better who I am and to better what I can for those around me.

Cypress Rosewood/ChangHigh Trinity Sisters

I love the music of Cypress Rosewood.I first saw him earlier this year and started attending his concerts with more frequency as time went on. His music is wonderful and soothing and, well, Native American flutes just gets me where I live. Cypress is known as Tony Gerber in RL and is a truly fine musician in both worlds.This past Friday, he did a show to raise money for Greenpeace and it featured an amazing collaboration with The ChangHigh Trinity Sisters. This troupe does acrobatics with fire and other elaborate and complicated particle effects. The blend between Cypress’ music and the troupe’s performance was captivating and beautiful.

“O brave new world, That has such people in’t!”

Heartbeat of the mother while her children sing and dance at Mystical Land of the First People in Mystica. Welcome!Just another blog, but it’s mine, all mine! And you can’t have it, but I hope that you’ll read it from time to time. So, who am I?This blog is more about me, as Eleanora Newell, in Second Life than as me, Cris Palomino, in First Life. Dragged, kicking and screaming, into Second Life, this is actually my third try at it and this time it stuck (no Heloise Hints for that stain removal; I think it’s permanent!I have a line of stores, The Oh! Factor with two specialty stores, Cotte to Perfection and By the Sea and Stars.I make a variety of things and will be showing new things as well as showing other pieces from my lines since they have never been showcased through a blog.Color-changing sculpted hibiscus flowers.My first offering is my sculpted hibiscus flowers. These are sculpted in Modo, hand-textured in Photoshop and have been scripted to change color with Hue/Saturation/Value. You can match just about any color. With the flowers being given with copy permissions, this means you can save a set that have been colored to coordinate your favorite outfit.The holidays are nearing and I wish each and every one of you a wonderful holiday in whichever way you celebrate, but most of all, may you be surrounded by love and know true peace.
