Four Little Tinies, All in a Row

Fox Obviate, head guardian at Mystical Mastery and Mystica, joins Shadow Marlin and myself in welcoming our new teacher, Willow Lundquist. We’re all tiny cause we love it, but here because we’re all teaching a series of Tiny Avatar classes.

One of the cool things about Second Life is the many folks who take the time to teach and help others. This was one of the things that first attracted me to Mystical Mastery. I wanted to learn everything….and I wanted to learn RIGHT NOW! Fortunately for me and others, there are many people who like to teach. Being able to see how things were done, I learned much more quickly.

I have also always loved to teach, too. When I was in high school, my favorite teacher, Lucille Hathaway, recognized this trait and made me an assistant teacher. When I was very little, my first language was actually Spanish because my grandmother and great aunt decided they did not want to speak English. I was never sure why they had made that choice, but they certainly knew more than they let on. I laugh, when I think back, on how they would catch me or my brother saying something and knowing just what we had said….the sneaks. I learned English when I went to school and it was decided that now knowing English, I could translate for them. So off I went everywhere with them, their own little Babblefish in tow. Over the years, I learned that I enjoyed showing others how to do things. I had a facility for it and genuinely loved others achieving something through my assistance. It was enriching and gratifying.

So when I came to Second Life, it was not surprising that I would find how to become a teacher here. The best way I know how to repay my many teachers is to pass on the teachings and hope that one of those I teach will turn and pass it on, too.

For this special series of classes, specially designed for tinies, we have hummingbird riders, a cool little vehicle called a Sky Doo, furniture, and a pot-bellied stove and eentsie kettle, and much more. Join us for the fun in Mystical Mastery starting this month.

Great for a Sunday Drive

Atop my sturdy little hummingbird. Still need to do the wing animation. I will teaching this for the set of Tinies classes we are doing at Mystical Mastery.

It’s hard to tell, with a red saddle and red fox, but there is indeed a seat there.  This little guy rides really well.  The keys are a bit sensitive and I’m learning I can steady her with a little left-right button movements, just like in a real car where there is a little jostle at times to keep the car steady on the road.  Gotta find out if I can get a burst of speed scripted like these little speed devils display in real life.

    VROOOOMMM! TAMA and Tiny TAMA have added Motorcycles and motorcycle parts to their product lines.  We have a brand-spanking-new store to display our wares which I based on the design of the old Sinclair Gas Stations.  The nifty shapes seemed perfect when I kept the garage open and added more window space to the parts side.  [...]

    We premiered the Tiny Horus Jaffa this week at Tiny TAMA.  This is an exquisite set with a sculpted helmet that animates down.  The texturing is quite beautiful on it and the more egyptian style outfit to go with it that is more in keeping with the Stargate film.  The standard version (300L$) has a [...]

    Sometime ago, I asked a good friend of mine, Kenn Nilsson, if he could create a script for me to do some games at Tiny TAMA.  The game was incredibly fun and the tinies had a blast.  Kenn created the script to allow for creativity and variety.  The first time we played the game, we [...]
